Uh I guess it started out pretty good but this is just action comics for repressed men back in the 1200s. Really really drawn-out, really ridiculous, what feels like 100+ pages of “and the very brave strong brave brave man easily defeated ~8000 enemies because of how brave he was“ give me a break. We get it, you think women are conniving. She just wanted a nice husband you jerks

edit: there IS a dude named Dankwart though (pronounced Dank Fart)

I love Wagner's epic operas from the Ring of the Nibelungs cicle, but I never got to read the original saga. And here is the new prose retelling. The story is less focused on fantasy and adventures, but more on vengeance and machinations. Same old virtues, vices and misunderstandings plus a bit of medieval everyday life in its festive garments. A compelling read despite all those centuries between us and them #readin2023

This was a fascinating read. It was written in Germany in the 13th Century, around the same time as when the first Arthurian stories were written. It also takes place around the 6th century. There were a lot of similarities to the legend of King Arthur. I would be interested to read most recent adaptations and to see a movie based on the story.

My humble #bookpyramid in black and white. Mostly showing off my history books I now notice. Mostly classical or early medieval text translations in this pile. Makes sense as it's the main focus of my studies. I can't help but love these old stories that contain so much of what we still look for in good stories today. #photoadaynov16 @RealLifeReading
