ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“American Gods” by Neil Gaiman follows Shadow Moon, a man recently released from prison, who becomes entangled in a battle between the old gods of mythology and the new gods of technology, media, and consumerism. As Shadow accompanies Mr. Wednesday, an enigmatic figure, he encounters various gods struggling to reclaim their relevance in modern America. The novel explores themes of belief, identity, and the power of stories, blending ancient mythology with contemporary life. It examines how gods, both old and new, derive power from human faith, and the ongoing struggle for survival in an ever-changing world.
