Das Nibelungenlied

Das Niebelungenlied

Ein sehr interessantes Buch, vor allem wenn einen die Kultur und Literatur des 13. Jahrhunderts interessiert. Für mich manchmal etwas schwer zu lesen, teilweise wegen der Übersetzung und Ausgabe die ich habe und teilweise da das Buch sich gerne selber spoilert. Teilweise Unerwartet Humorvoll. Warnung vor einer nicht graphischen Vergewaltigung.

Nibelungenlied

Whew this was a slog. How can a story that (a) involves Attila the Hun and (b) inspired the Ring Cycle and Lord of the Rings be sooooooo boring? 

I was seriously tempted at several points to start a drinking game whereby drinkage happens any time there's a description of how fantastically wealthy everyone is (NO ONE CARES) and any time there is a jousting sesh for NO REASON. Also any time a man is terrible (just kidding; I have no desire to die of alcohol poisoning). 

In fairness to the poet however, I think actually some of my gripes with this arise from the translation as apparently the original at least had the merit of a jaunty rhythm and a decent rhyme scheme.

Anyway, #justiceforkriemhild
