A heroic novel written 800 years ago, whose plot is set another 400 years earlier – and yet full of modern themes of the greatest topicality: this is the Willehalm by Wolfram von Eschenbach (1170-1220). The conflict is set around Willehalm and his wife Gyburc, who was the daughter of the Muslim king Terramer, but had herself baptized and married Willehalm. Happy and unhappy love, intricate and problematic kinship relations, and a surprisingly nuanced picture of Islam as a religion with ethical obligations to be respected are discovered by the reader in one of the most important verse epics of Middle High German literature. In this, the most beautiful edition of Willehalm, the themes find a congenial representation in 117 fabulous #miniatures: even the horses seem to be able to tell their own version of the captivating events between love, violence, and death.
