The Story of the Volsungs and Niblungs is a literary work by Eirikr Magnusson, first published in 1870. The book is a translation of Norse mythology and epic poetry, specifically the Elder Edda, which tells the tale of the legendary Volsung family and their descendants, the Niblungs. The story is set in a mythical world and follows the heroic deeds of the Volsungs, including their battles with dragons and giants, as well as their personal struggles and relationships. The book also includes certain songs from the Elder Edda, which are poems that were sung or recited in ancient Norse culture.The Story of the Volsungs and Niblungs is considered an important work in the study of Norse mythology and literature. It has influenced many subsequent works of fantasy and epic fiction, including J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. The book is recommended for readers interested in mythology, epic poetry, and the history of Norse culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
