Legenda oparta na mitologii skandynawskiej. Stąd Tolkien czerpał liczne pomysły, nazwy i imiona tworząc Śródziemie.

Pierwsza pieśń opowiada o losach legendarnego bohatera Sigurda Völsunga i dwóch zakochanych w nim kobiet - walkirii Brynhildy oraz pięknej Gudrun, księżniczki z rodu Niflungów, która dzięki magicznemu podstępowi została jego żoną. Druga przedstawia wydarzenia po śmierci Sigurda - Gudrun wbrew swej woli zawiera małżeństwo z potężnym Atlim, władcą Hunów (historycznym Attylą), Atli morduje jej braci, wielkich bohaterów, Gudrun wywiera straszną zemstę, po czym odbiera sobie życie. "Legenda o Sigurdzie i Gudrun" to fascynująca opowieść z czasów starożytnej Północy o magii, bogach, spektakularnych bitwach, wojownikach, tragicznej miłości i zdradzie. Niezwykły prezent dla wszystkich miłośników Tolkiena, opatrzony przez jego syna drobiazgowym komentarzem oraz fragmentami dotąd niepublikowanych wykładów ojca o literaturze staroislandzkiej.

3.0 The Legend of Sigurd & Gudrún
Tolkien is most famous for the Lord of the Rings and, my particular favourite, The Hobbit. I think every other book he's written pales in to insignificance when you think of him as a writer. He was, in fact, first and foremost, an academic. The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún denotes something that Tolk...

This is an interesting experiment in retelling in a specific poetic form. So precise and slim is the style that I cannot imagine understanding it without contextual background (mainly the Volsunga Saga) to fill in the gaps.While the effort is admirable, I didn't find it added anything fresh to the o...

3.5 to 4 star bookThis was, as a volume, a curious mix of prose and poetry which covers the Norse legends which inspired Tolkien's Middle Earth. In short The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún is Tolkien's version of those myths in poetic form. I didn't personally find the story of this legend particularly...

When I was seven years old, I went with my mother to her eye appointment. While we were waiting for her to be called, she started reading The Fellowship of the Ring to me. We got two chapters in before the appointment. Afterwards, she couldn’t read because of the eye drops, so I got tired of wai...
