just released after three years in prison Shadow became acquainted with an enigmatic Mr. Wednesday who offers to work for him. Left without resources or connections Shadow accepts, and what initially seems a normal work routine will be revealed soon much more challenging and dangerous. Mister Wednesday it is none other than Odin, the supreme deity of the Nordic pantheon, launched into a true work of recruiting the Gods of the Old World with the aim to establish an army and fight a war against ruthless new and modern deities ... Neil Gaiman versatile master of contemporary fantastic fiction, wrote a beautiful novel, able to enchant and move, alternando generi letterari differenti (dal fantasy, al thriller, alla saga epica) e dando vita ad una schiera di personaggi di intensità incredibile. Un libro che oltre ad essere un romanzo fantastico è anche un viaggio istruttivo nelle nostre più antiche credenze religiose, da leggere e rileggere per riscoprirvi ogni volta cose nuove.
