The story of the tragic hero Hagen of Tronje is told with sensitivity and uniqueness - a new perspective on the Nibelungen saga from the pen of the great Wolfgang Hohlbein. All great legends have more than one side. Everyone knows the tale of the radiant Siegfried, the dragon slayer and ruler of the Nibelungs. Wolfgang Hohlbein now focuses entirely on Hagen of Tronje and brings us closer to the personality of this hero who is not as dark as he seems.
