The NibelungenliedPaperback, 24 June 2015

The Nibelungenlied, comparable to the Illiad in scope, is one of the great epic poems of world literature. An unknown poet powerfully combines ancient legends of a mythical world of dragons, magic rings, invisibility cloaks, treachery, and wholesale bloodshed that inspired Wagner's Ring cycle and numerous authors since. This edition, in the original meter contains translators notes.
