About the book: 2022 / "Ragnarok" is a book from a series of ancient myths reinterpreted by modern writers from different countries, including Antonia Susan Byatt, Ali Smith, David Grossman, Su Tong, Olga Tokarchuk, Victor Pelevin and others. A poignant, lyrical, autobiographical book about a five-year-old girl evacuated from London to the countryside during World War II. She worries about her father, a military pilot, whose fate is tragically unclear, and reads a book of Scandinavian myths. Scary and at the same time poetic stories about the tree Yggdrasil, the wolf Fenrir, the snake Jormungandr, and the insidious god Loki are crowned by the myth of Ragnarok, the death of the gods. Only after terrible death and destruction can the world begin again.
