Byock (translator)
Marvelous translation of
the saga of legendary dragon-slayer Sigurd. This is one of
the masterpieces of Icelandic literature and it has
influenced Germanic writers and thinkers throughout
history.
Byock also takes Sigurd down to the 19th
century, when Wagner's magic brought the storied hero onto
the stage in the wonderful "Ring" operas. Maps.
Highly recommended.
