Mythic drama in two parts

This volume brings together *The Rhinegold* and *The Valkyrie*, the opening two parts of Wagner’s *The Ring of the Nibelung*. Its mythic world draws on Germanic legend, with gods, giants, dwarves and heroes caught up in magic, forbidden passion and betrayal. The publisher also notes 35 full-page illustrations by Arthur Rackham, which accompany the prose and give visual form to its figures and settings. The book’s blend of mythic subject matter and illustrated presentation makes it both a literary work and a visual encounter with Wagner’s legendary world.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Wagner and Germanic mythology
  • Those seeking an illustrated edition of a classic literary work
  • Readers curious about the mythic traditions that informed later fantasy literature

Book overview

The Ring of the Nibelung is Wagner's gripping tale of Gods, giants, dwarves and heroes, of High Magic, forbidden passion, treachery, and the redeeming quality of selfless love. A homage to Germanic heritage and mythology, the saga has inspired many many later books, including J.R.Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. The 35 full-page illustrations by the inimitable Arthur Rackham both enhance and inform Wagner's stirring prose, vivifying this entrancing mythic vista of Gods, Dragons and Heroes.
