El Cant dels Nibelungs

The Song of the Nibelungs is one of the great literary works of the Middle Ages and one of the most influential for posterity. Composed around 1200, this epic celebrates the prowess of ancient warriors, like the Homeric Iliad, and offers a captivating combination of courtly virtues and chivalric honours, but also of hatred, disloyalty and brutal carnage. In this volume, which includes the original German text, you will find, for the first time in Catalan, the beautiful love story of Siegfried and the charming Kriemhild; the murder of the hero, treated because of the rivalry between two women; the fate of the Nibelungen treasure; a fateful journey to the distant kingdom of the Huns, and many other wonders.
