The Nibelungenlied

About this book

The Nibelungenlied was Germany's first heroic epic put into writing.

Siegfried, the knighted prince of Netherland, has plans to marry the beautiful Princess Kriemhilda of Burgundy. He visits Worms to bargain with the three kings and Kriemhilda's brothers. Famed for his impenetrable skin and inhuman strength after bathing in dragon's blood, Siegfried may be the perfect man to help them. To marry their sister and receive her wealth, Siegfried must convince the ruler beyond the sea and the mighty maiden warrior to be Gunther's wife.

Perfect for readers who love ancient epics like Beowulf and The Iliad, this foundational work of German literature brings to life the legendary tales of Siegfried and Kriemhild that have captivated audiences for centuries. Experience the raw power and timeless themes that influenced everything from Wagner's Ring Cycle to modern fantasy literature.
