The first translation into English of this monumental epic in over forty years. Written around the year 1200 by an unknown Middle High German poet, probably an Austrian knight-cleric, The Song of the Nibelungs is composed of thirty-nine adventures and is divided into two major parts. Two great complexes of epic action are joined together: the life and death of Sigfrid, his glory, fault, and betrayal, and the massive destruction of those who betrayed him, engineered by Kriemhild, Sigfrid's wife. The translator has reproduced the principal characteristics of style and language, in a verse form approximating that of the original. This modern translation, with its naturalness of language, will appeal to the general reader and scholar alike.

The Song of the Nibelungs, is an epic poem written around 1200 in Middle High German. Its anonymous poet was likely from the region of Passau. The Nibelungenlied is based on an oral tradition that has some of its origin in historic events and individuals of the 5th and 6th centuries. The poem is split into two parts: in the first part, Siegfried comes to Worms to acquire the hand of the Burgundian princess Kriemhild from her brother King Gunther. Gunther agrees to let Siegfried marry Kriemhild if Siegfried helps Gunther acquire the warrior-queen Brünhild as his wife. Siegfried does this and marries Kriemhild; however Brünhild and Kriemhild become rivals, leading eventually to Siegfried's murder by the Burgundian vassal Hagen with Gunther's involvement. In the second part, the widow Kriemhild is married to Etzel, king of the Huns. She later invites her brother and his court to visit Etzel's kingdom intending to kill Hagen. Her revenge results in the death of all the Burgundians who came to Etzel's court as well as the destruction of Etzel's kingdom and the death of Kriemhild herself. The Nibelungenlied was the first heroic epic put into writing in Germany, helping to found a larger genre of written heroic poetry.

The Nibelungenlied ("The Song of the Nibelungs") is an epic poem originally written in in Middle High German around the year 1180. It tells the story of the dragon-slayer Siegfried at the court of the Burgundians, how he was murdered, and of his wife Kriemhild's revenge. Along with the Völsunga saga, the Nibelungenlied served as source material for Richard Wagner's famous four music dramas Der Ring des Nibelungen ("The Ring of the Nibelung"), although the storyline in the Nibelungenlied is far more extensive than in Wagner's work. Based on pre-Christian Germanic heroic motifs which include ancient oral traditions (including the Norse sagas), the Nibelungenlied first appeared from the area of the Danube between Passau and Vienna, from where the oldest manuscripts originate. The epic is divided into two parts, the first dealing with the story of Siegfried and Kriemhild, the wooing of Brünhild and the death of Siegfried at the hands of Hagen, and Hagen's hiding of the Nibelung treasure in the Rhine (Chapters 1-19). The second part deals with Kriemhild's marriage to Etzel (Atilla the Hun), her plans for revenge, the journey of the Burgundians to the court of Etzel, and their last stand in Etzel's hall (Chapters 20-39). The original was written as a poem in 2,400 stanzas, divided up into 39 Aventiuren ("adventures"). This edition has been translated into prose format, but still accurately follows the storyline of all the Adventures. It includes a complete background introductory essay by the translator, in which the history of the surviving manuscripts and their storylines are fully explored.

As part of his initiation, young Siegfried is banished from Xanten to seek his luck until he is mature enough to inherit the kingdom. Blessed with unusual strength and beauty, our hero sets out on his journey to become Germania's most famous hero. During his adventures, Siegfried travels far north, meets a wise woman inside a volcano, fights trolls, and wrestles dwarfs. Yet when our hero faces Fahnir the dragon, it is not his brute strength, but trickery that defeats the Lindworm. Made invincible from dragon blood and having captured the legendary Nibelungen treasure, including the god Loki's cursed ring, Siegfried returns to Germania and proposes to the beautiful Kriemhild von Burgund. Before Kriemhild's royal brothers accept Siegfrieds proposal, our hero has to pass a series of daring challenges. The 1500-year-old saga The Song of the Nibelungs is a quintessential part of Germany's national literary epos, the stories that form a nation's identity similar to Beowulf and King Athur in the United Kingdom and beyond. Since 450 BC, Europe's great migration period of the Völkerwanderung, Germanic storytellers have told the The Song of the Nibelungs, and they have not stopped since. This re-interpretation of the Nibelungenlied is inspired by Karl Simrock's classic 1826 translation of the saga from the extinct Mittelhochdeutsch/Middle High German into the more understandable Neuhochdeutsch/New High German.
