About the book: 2009 / Wilhelm Wagner’s book contains legends that have long been familiar to many: about King Arthur and the Holy Grail, about Tristan and Isolde, Beowulf, The Nibelungs - and little-known tales: about the Hegelings, Lohengrin, Dietrich and Hildebrand. An accessible and fascinating form of presentation makes the rich historical heritage of the ancient Germans and Celts interesting to everyone without exception. The world of brave knights and beautiful ladies, almighty gods and wayward Valkyries, bloodthirsty dragons and good sorceresses is open to everyone, but at the same time incomprehensible and mysterious.
