The Story of Sigurd the Volsung and the Fall of the Niblungs (Aziloth Books)

Más información sobre el libro

The epic poem, inspired by the 13th-century Icelandic 'Volsunga Saga', explores themes of heroism, love, and vengeance through the legendary history of the Volsungs. Morris's fascination with Nordic poetry led him to create a 10,000 line work, celebrated by notable figures like George Bernard Shaw. While the original poem challenged many readers, a shorter, acclaimed version was published in 1910, now presented in a new edition featuring an original glossary, additional imagery, and a summary of the often-overlooked Book IV.
