    Dec 23 2025
    The Fall of the Nibelungs unveils the haunting tale of the Nibelungenlied, masterfully translated into plain prose by Margaret Armour from the middle high German. This poetic saga, believed to have been penned around 1200, draws inspiration from the tragic fate of the Burgundians, a Germanic tribe, decimated in 436 by Huns hired by the Roman general Flavius Aëtius. As the gripping introduction to the 1908 edition states, “the discord of two women” ignites a chain of events leading to treachery and murder, ultimately engulfing a land in ashes and erasing an entire race. This is a story of passion, betrayal, and the dire consequences that unfold, making it a compelling listen for those who dare to delve into its depths. Summary by Phil Schempf.
