EL CANTAR DE LOS NIBELUNGOS - Anónimo

EL CANTAR DE LOS NIBELUNGOS - Anónimo

En El cantar de los Nibelungos se narra la gesta de Sigfrido, un cazador de dragones de la corte de los burgundios, quien valiéndose de ciertos artificios consigue la mano de la princesa Crimilda. Sin embargo, una torpe indiscreción femenina termina por provocar una horrorosa cadena de venganzas. El traidor Hagen descubre que Sigfrido es invulnerable, por haber sido bañado con la sangre de un dragón, salvo en una pequeña porción de su espalda donde se depositó una hoja de tilo y la sangre no tocó su piel.

De los monumentos literarios que se perpetúan a través de
los siglos brotan fuentes históricas de la mayor
importancia, allí resaltan las costumbres de la época en que
aparecieron, nos dan a conocer las formas del lenguaje que
entonces se empleaban y, como si tuvieran la limpidez del
espejo, se reflejan en ellos los sentimientos que animaran a
los héroes que en él se agitan, pues por embellecida que se
encuentre la naturaleza por el arte, es siempre la naturaleza, y
la vista deshaciendo el artificio ve sin él la ruda forma y el
duro contorno. Esta sola consideración bastaría para que a
pesar de la fatiga que produce, no se descansará en el estudio
de los antiguos poemas y entre estos hay que conceder un
señalado lugar al que abre el ciclo épico de la literatura
germánica, más nombrada que conocida, más aplaudida que
estudiada.

Weight-Shift Control Aircraft Flying Handbook -2008

U.S. Department of Transportation
FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION

The Weight-Shift Control (WSC) Aircraft Flying Handbook introduces the basic pilot knowledge and skills that are essential
for piloting WSC aircraft. It introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of knowledge that is needed as they progress in their
pilot training. This handbook is for student pilots, as well as those pursuing more advanced pilot certifi cates.
Student pilots learning to fly WSC aircraft, certificated pilots preparing for additional WSC ratings or who desire to improve
their flying proficiency and aeronautical knowledge, and commercial WSC pilots teaching WSC students how to fl y should
find this handbook helpful. This book introduces the prospective pilot to the realm of WSC flight and provides information
and guidance to all WSC pilots in the performance of various maneuvers and procedures.
This handbook conforms to pilot training and certification concepts established by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA). There are different ways of teaching, as well as performing flight procedures and maneuvers, and many variations
in the explanations of aerodynamic theories and principles. This handbook adopts a selective method and concept to flying
WSC aircraft. The discussions and explanations reflect the most commonly used practices and principles. Occasionally,
the word “must” or similar language is used where the desired action is deemed critical. The use of such language is not
intended to add to, interpret, or relieve a duty imposed by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR).
It is essential for persons using this handbook also to become familiar with and apply the pertinent parts of 14 CFR and
the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). Performance standards for demonstrating competence required for pilot
certification are prescribed in the appropriate WSC practical test standard.
This handbook is available for download, in PDF format, from the FAA website, www.faa.gov.
