The Song of the Nibelungs
10 hrs. 8 min.
Description
“The Song of the Nibelungs” is one of the most fundamental epics of world culture, alongside “The Iliad,” “The Odyssey,” “Beowulf,” and “Kalevala.” This famous German poem was written by an unknown medieval author more than 800 years ago, yet its great tragedy and great beauty still move hearts today.
At the center of the rich and dramatic plot is the marriage of the dragon-slayer hero Siegfried to the Burgundian princess Kriemhild. In front of you is a tale of passionate and harsh love, revenge, and the inevitable consequences—combining mythical legends with historical details about everyday life, culture, and customs of feudal Germany.
A complete prose retelling of the epic, made without omissions by Igor Malyshev, corresponds to the plot and the original’s imagery as closely as possible.
