Take a hot-tempered guitarist, a mischievous drummer, and a kickass bassist, and you get VanAesir, one of the hottest underground Viking death metal bands in Seattle. But the road to the top is an endless struggle, especially for Tor Hagen, lead guitarist of VanAesir and walking disaster for all electronics. Getting through a set without a hitch is a challenge for Tor, whose uncontrollable lightning abilities are amplified through his uniquely crafted guitar, Myollnir. A few days before one of the largest metal events in the country, Tor wakes up to find his beloved Myollnir has been stolen. With a little help from his friends Frida Winters and Luca Ingram, Tor must do whatever it takes to get it back-even if gaffs and corsets are involved. A hilarious and snarky contemporary retelling of the Norse mythology story The Lay of Thrym from Poetic Edda.

C'est dans la langue de Rabelais que M. Charles De Coster a écrit ses Légendes flamandes. Ces sortes de pastiches demandent beaucoup d'étude, une connaissance approfondie du vieux langage français, aux diverses époques, pour ne pas confondre l'une avec l'autre, et une sorte de familiarité de longe date avec les écrivains de ces temps là. En ces labyrinthes philologiques il est facile d'errer. Balzac, dans ses Contes drôlatiques, commet à chaque instant des fautes graves et montre qu'il connaît assez mal la langue et l'orthographe anciennes qu'il a prétendu reproduire.

Domburg est un petit bourg bâti sur la côte occidentale de l'île de Walcheren. Il fut entre tous ses frères, les villages de Zélande, si éprouvés par les mouvements de terrain et les inondations, l'un des plus infortunés et des plus éprouvés. Un horrible incendie le dévora un jour tout entier ; à peine renaissait-il de ses cendres que la mer se rua sur lui et engloutit la moitié de ses maisons : elles dorment maintenant sous le sable ; Domburg alors fit retraite derrière les dunes et là fut de nouveau rebâti ; ce que l'on voyait de lui en mil huit cent cinquante-sept, c'étaient de coquettes habitations de briques alignées dans une longue grande rue et dont les portes, les volets, les montants et les traverses des croisées sont peints pittoresquement en gris, en vert et en rouge...

This is my first book, and I have written this book with energies from the universe and blessings of Maa. Herein I have written my own experiences in a simple language, and this is a very pure book for me. My purpose of writing this book is to bring more and more people toward spirituality. I am a very simple person; if I can go on the path of spirituality, then anyone can. All of us have problems in life. We should not run from them or go here and there or even ask other people to solve them, but we should ourselves move toward spirituality, sit for meditation, and pray to God to help us solve these problems. If we do so, our problems will be solved automatically. I hope you all will like My Journey to Spiritual Healing, so I can get encouraged to write the next book.
