Yvain
Author: Chretien de Troyes
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300187580
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Beauty and the Beast and the Enchantress
Author: Finley Aaron
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781978174948
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
They say I'm evil. They've called me jealous, petty, obsessive...wicked. But none of those who call me a villain realize what I was up against, and how my actions saved the prince and the kingdom. For years I told myself it didn't matter what they thought-I knew the truth, and that was enough. As time goes on, though, it's occurred to me that history often repeats itself. And we came so close to losing everything the last time. There is a fate worse than death, and it almost befell us all. In order to understand that, you've got to know the whole story. Many people have attempted to tell the story of Beauty and the Beast, but none of those understood why I did what I did. This is my side of the story.
