Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This previously unpublished work by J.R.R. Tolkien, written during the 1920s and 1930s, makes available the author's extensive retelling in English narrative verse of the epic Norse tales of Sigurd the Volsung and The Fall of the Niflungs.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Many years ago, J.R.R. Tolkien composed his own version of the great legend of Northern antiquity, recounted here in <i>The Legend of Sigurd and <i>Gudrún</i></i>. In the <i>Lay of the Völsungs</i> is told the ancestry of the great hero Sigurd, the slayer of Fáfnir, most celebrated of dragons; of his awakening of the Valkyrie Brynhild, who slept surrounded by a wall of fire, and of their betrothal; and of his coming to the court of the great princes who were named the Niflungs (or Nibelungs), with whom he entered into blood-brotherhood. In scenes of dramatic intensity, of confusion of identity, thwarted passion, jealousy, and bitter strife, the tragedy of Sigurd and Brynhild, of Gunnar the Niflung and Gudrún his sister, mounts to its end in the murder of Sigurd, the suicide of Brynhild, and the despair of Gudrún. The <i>Lay of Gudrún</i> recounts her fate after the death of Sigurd, her marriage against her will to the mighty Atli, ruler of the Huns (the Attila of history), his murder of her brothers, and her hideous revenge.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>J.R.R. TOLKIEN (1892-1973) was the creator of Middle-earth and author of such classic and extraordinary works of fiction as <i>The Hobbit</i>, <i>The Lord of the Rings</i>, <i>The Silmarillion</i>, and <i>The Children of Húrin</i>. His books have been translated into more than forty languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.
