This book contains the greatest legends about Siegfried, Sita, Beowulf, Lohengrin, Robert the Devil, Doctor Faust, and other heroes of medieval Europe. Legends of mighty wizards, terrifying monsters, great battles, and soul-saving love, motifs that permeate all of European culture, were created by the popular imagination in the 9th-16th centuries. Each of these legendary heroes returned to readers hundreds and thousands of times, appearing in each century in a new incarnation: their echoes can be found in medieval chivalric romances and in the works of contemporary science fiction writers - from "Don Quixote" to "The Master and Margarita" and modern series like "The Witcher" and "Game of Thrones". The edition is illustrated with works by outstanding masters of book graphics - Warwick Goble, Harold Nelson, William Heath Robinson, Arthur Rackham, Joseph Skelton, Bayard Shaw - as well as works by great European painters from the 17th-20th centuries.
