About This Item
Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1992. Soft cover. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; some scratches and a small area of damage to upper back cover near edge - due to price sticker removal; very pale "used" stamp on upper and inside edge; otherwise very minimal wear; Written in thirteenth-century Iceland but based on ancient Norse poetry cycles, The Saga of the Volsungs combines mythology, legend and sheer human drama. It tells of the cursed treasure of the Rhine, a sword reforged and a magic ring of power, and at its heart are the heroic deeds of Sigurd the dragon slayer, who acquires magical knowledge from one of Odin's Valkyries. One of the great books of world literature, the saga is an unforgettable tale of princely jealousy, unrequited love, greed, vengeance and the downfall of a dynasty.
