Edda: The Songs of Gods and Heroes of the Germanic Peoples
According to the manuscript of Brynjolfur Sveinsson
Translated by Karl Simrock
The Edda is the most important collection of Old Norse poems about gods and heroes. It preserves the beliefs and legends of the Vikings and Germanic peoples and was probably compiled in the mid-13th century. The largest portion is devoted to the tales of the Nibelung saga, which were later incorporated into the famous Nibelungenlied and also inspired Richard Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung. An extraordinary reading experience with texts of captivating power and lyrical density in Karl Simrock's translation.
