Yarroll, Reiner Ruf, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Der Nibelunge liet" by Karl Joseph Simrock is an epic poem written in the late 19th century. This work is a celebrated retelling of the ancient Germanic legend of the Nibelungs, focusing on themes of heroism, love, betrayal, and revenge. Central characters include the noble Kriemhild, her warrior husband Siegfried, and the complex web of alliances and enmities among kings and knights. At the start of this epic, the narrative introduces Kriemhild, a beautiful and noble maiden of the Burgundian kingdom, who captivates many knights with her unmatched beauty. Simrock's translation sets the scene by weaving a tapestry of valorous deeds and the fateful events that will impact Kriemhild and her family. The beginning also hints at complicated themes of love and the brewing strife among various noble houses, establishing a foreshadowing of the tragic conflicts that lie ahead. This rich introduction lays a foundation for the intertwining adventures that will unfold as the saga progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 90.8 (5th grade).
