About This Book

Die Erzählung schildert den Werdegang eines jungen Helden, der in einer ländlichen Burg aufwächst, früh Mut und Stärke zeigt, Wildtiere und Ritter bezwingt und von einem Schmied namens Mime in die Lehre genommen wird. In Abenteuern meistert er Prüfungen, tötet einen Drachen und erwirbt den Nibelungenschatz; später tritt er in Beziehung zu königlichen Höfen, begegnet Herrschern und gerät in höfische wie kriegerische Verwicklungen. Stilistisch verbindet der Text heroische Taten, mythische Elemente und die Darstellung von Tugenden wie Tapferkeit, Entschlossenheit und Kameradschaft.
