The Saga of the Volsungs: The Norse Epic of Sigurd by Jesse L. Byock
ISBN: 9780140447385 PUBLISHER: Penguin Books Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 160 PUBLICATION DATE: 27.05.1999 DIMENSIONS: 198mmX129mmX9mm 123grams
DESCRIPTION: Based on Viking Age poems, "The Saga of the Volsungs" combines mythology, legend and sheer human drama. At its heart are the heroic deeds of Sigurd the dragon slayer who acquires magical knowledge from one of Odin's Valkyries. Yet it is also set in a very human world, incorporating strands from the oral narratives of the fourth and fifth centuries, when Attila the Hun and other warriors fought on the northern frontiers of the Roman Empire. One of the great books of world literature, the saga is an unforgettable tale of princely jealousy, unrequited love, greed and vengeance. With its cursed treasure of the Rhine, sword reforged and magic ring of power, it was a major influence for writers including William Morris and J. R. R. Tolkein and for Wagner's Ring cycle.
