  • Aljaska en de Canada-spoorweg~1 Std. Lesezeit Nederlands
  • Barlaam and Ioasaph~6 Std. Lesezeit English
    You get a strange, patient medieval tale in which the sheltered prince Ioasaph learns about suffering through Barlaam’s parables, including the famous story of the man fleeing a unicorn. The theology is earnest and sometimes repetitive, but the stories have an uncanny, fable-like pull, especially if you enjoy books where a journey inward matters more than adventure.
  • BeowulfHörbuch (3 Std.) English
    You get a spare, strange world of boasts, loyalty, feasts, and sudden violence, where Beowulf faces Grendel and later meets a dragon as an aging king. The alliterative verse can feel austere at first, but its stark images and sense of doom stay with you.
  • Gudrun~5 Std. Lesezeit English
    You get a medieval epic with sea voyages, feuds, long separations, and a heroine whose endurance never makes her passive. Gudrun can feel episodic and ceremonious, but its attention to Hilde and Gudrun gives the old heroic machinery a surprisingly human pulse.
  • Historia de la célebre Reina de España Doña Juana, llamada vulgarmente, La LocaHörbuch (1 Std.) Español
  • Romancero selecto del CidHörbuch (3 Std.) Español
    Los viejos romances del Cid, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar: poemas breves y cantados sobre su juventud, su disputa con el rey, su boda con Jimena y sus batallas. Son sencillos y rítmicos, el tipo de verso que la gente se sabía de memoria.
  • Sir Gawain and the Green Knight~2 Std. Lesezeit English
    You get a strange, wintry adventure where Gawain’s courtesy is tested as sharply as his courage, from the Green Knight’s beheading game to the unnerving hospitality of a country castle. The alliterative verse takes a little settling into, but its mix of menace, comedy, and moral unease lingers.
  • The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes~2 Std. Lesezeit English
    You follow Lázaro from one hungry master to another, beginning with the blind man who teaches him that survival requires brains, nerve, and a flexible conscience. The episodes are brisk, funny, and often cruel, while his supposed success quietly exposes how little dignity society leaves the poor.
  • The Nibelungenlied~7 Std. Lesezeit English
    If you think medieval epics are all shining knights, wait until Kriemhild spends twenty years planning her revenge and the last third becomes a slaughter in a burning hall. It's stark and cold-blooded and strangely modern about grudges, though the formal verse takes some settling into.
  • The PearlHörbuch (1 Std.) English
    Fair warning, this is the Victorian underground erotica magazine, not the Steinbeck. It's explicit, repetitive, and often genuinely ugly by modern standards, so it's really only worth your time as a historical curiosity, a peek at what respectable Victorians read in secret.
  • Vida De Lazarillo De Tormes Y De Sus Fortunas Y AdversidadesHörbuch (2 Std.) Español
    Lázaro cuenta cómo creció sirviendo a una serie de amos: un ciego mendigo y cruel, un clérigo avaro, un escudero orgulloso y muerto de hambre. Es breve, astuta y divertida, la primera novela picaresca.
