The Nibelungenlied

This book is a translation of the Nibelungenlied, an epic poem from medieval Germany that tells the story of the legendary hero Siegfried and his tragic fate. The translator, George Henry Needler, sought to capture the rich rhyme and meter of the original poem in his translation, and succeeded in creating a work that is both faithful to the source material and pleasing to the modern reader. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in medieval literature or the heroic traditions of Western Europe.
