A modern retelling of the ring cycle, arguably the best story ever invented by man (or planted in our subconscious by some power, who knows?) - an essential part of the ancient Nordic tradition of the Edda, that inspired Wagner to produce possibly the towering masterpiece of Western culture, his cycle of operas Der Ring des Nibelungen, as well as (of course) even better-known Tolkien's Lord of the Rings (although the elements most connected to the saga in his work are rather to be found in the wonderful Silmarillion).
The author wanted to give the modern audience an opportunity to get familiar with that incomparable story, by bringing it to a contemporary setting in his adopted city of Geneva - but hopefully keeping some of the magic that has fascinated men and women discovering the tale for centuries - as well as bringing out the adult elements that were latent in the story, but that neither the medieval bard nor Wagner in the nineteenth century had dared to make explicit. This first part of the Ring cycle, one out of four, describes the stealing of the gold by the evil dwarf, the forging of the magic ring of power, and the tribulations of the giants and gods as they are unwillingly aspired into the sweeping saga of the ring.
