I read and thoroughly enjoyed Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival.
I'm looking for more similar works. Perhaps something more dramatic (?) (I'm sure this isn't the right term but what I mean is that I never really feared for any of the protagonists when reading Parzival).
Needs to be English or German or translated into one of the two languages.
Thanks
Once and Future King by TH White combines most of the earlier versions. A lot of people read that and then are disappointed in the earlier renditions of the cycle.

I should have maybe clarified, I was looking for medieval works. But I'll look into it anyway, thanks!

Der Arme Heinrich ist hyperdramatisch.

Klingt gut, danke! Über "Erec" von ihm hab ich auch viel gehört, werde mir warscheinlich die beiden bestellen.

Hast du an Tristan von Gottfried von Straßburg schon gedacht?

Noch nicht. Ich erinnere mich aus meiner Schulzeit davon mal ein bisschen gehört zu haben aber das war schon lange her. Werds mir auch anschauen, danke.

>Nibelungenlied has dragons and incest
It hasn't actually. The Nibelungenlied is a toned down version of various legends (which do in fact contain the incest and dragons) produced for the german aristocracy in the high middle ages.
I remember reading it and being really disappointed because of that when I was a teenager.
It's still a great story though

yeah i remembered afterward you have to read the cycle not the song, but i thought i wouldn't discourage you. there's still dragonkillers after all
