The Baldwin Online Children’s Project Si buscáis en http://www.mainlesson.com encontraréis esta web dedicada a acercar los clásicos a los niños. Como podéis suponer está en inglés, pero dado el público a quien va dirigido, el vocabulario y la sintaxis utilizados son sencillos y de fácil comprensión si tenéis un nivel elemental de esta lengua. Aquí podréis encontrar un buen puñado de historias. Ya os informé de las dedicadas a Wagner, ahora os informo de otras, dedicadas a las fuentes wagnerianas en las que se habla de las Eddas, el Cantar de los Nibelungos, Mitología Nórdica, Mitología Griega, Leyendas Artúricas, Célticas, etc. A mí me han parecido muy interesantes. En algunos casos, el texto se acompaña de ilustraciones. Proceden de libros que fueron publicados hace más de 75 años, por lo que no están sujetas a copyright en USA, que es de donde procede la web. Algo bueno tenía que venir de ese lugar... Saludos.

Though he could fight, and was as strong as any lion, yet he could love too and be as gentle as a child. The father and mother of the hero-boy lived in a strong castle near the banks of the great Rhine river. Siegmund, his father, was a rich king, Sieglinde, his mother, a beautiful queen, and dearly did they love their little son Siegfried. (?) Sieglinde, his queen-mother, would ofttimes dress her little son in costly garments and lead him by the hand before the proud, strong men-at-arms who stood before the castle walls. Nought had they but smiles and gentle words for their little Prince. When he grew older, Siegfried would ride into the country, yet always would he be attended by King Siegmund’s most trusted warriors. (?) Siegfried was hidden away safe in the thickets of a great forest, and dwelt there under the care of a blacksmith, named Mimer. Mimer was a dwarf, belonging to a strange race of little folk called Nibelungs. The Nibelungs lived for the most part in a dark little town beneath the ground. Nibelheim was the name of this little town and many of the tiny men who dwelt there were smiths. All the livelong day they would hammer on their little anvils, but all through the long night they would dance and play with tiny little Nibelung women. |
