Unabridged Audiobook
A classical and must read ( listen) for everyone interested in German mythology. A bit hard to follow through as it is spoken in the original translation by Simrock and this is quite different from nowadays common German. But it is worth the effort to get used to it.( You have 10h!! to habituate) The narrator even interweaves some German dialect to get the mood right for the tale . Thumbs up for it! Little Trivia: The Nibelungen Tale is also allegorically picturing the fight of the old nordic religion with christianity. Like when Hagen von Tronje gets the warning about the deadly end of their journey to the court of Etzel (In English this is Attila the Hun) This is the "old way" warning Hagen. While all the Burgundy clearly are pictured as Christians. At the end all die and nobody knows where the dwarfs (Nibelungen) took the treasure and sunk it down in the Rhine River. Where it is still waiting to be discovered .The Nibelungen part II is all about geocaching :-)
