Orko the giant cow

Orko the giant cow; folk tales from Sweden. Herman Hofberg Publication date: 01/01/2010 Publisher: Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi Center for Arabic Language, Kalima Project for Translation Type: Paperback with artistic cover (all types) Publisher's note: "... then King Frood stopped at a place called Frohamer, ... believing he had crossed the borders and overcome the danger, but the giant cow was waiting for him there, where she defeated him and kicked him to death... and four stones still mark the place of that king's grave, confirming that the incident took place." It is Swedish folk tales, a wonderful mixture of popular narratives and sagas. The first deals with facts and specifies the locations of events, while the second is completely free from the temporal and spatial constraints of the limit. But it resembles epics filled with heroic deeds, fostering courage and the spirit of challenge, and conquering enemies and hardships even through illusion and imagination, like a butterfly of ambition drawn to the dazzling light, burning in the pursuit of it.
