Inhaltsangabe

The Song of Roland is an epic poem that tells the story of the Battle of Roncevaux Pass, which took place in 778 AD. The poem was written in the 11th century and is considered one of the most important works of French literature. In this edition, translated by Arthur S. Way and published in 1913, the poem is presented in its original form, with facing-page English translation. The poem follows the exploits of Roland, a knight in the army of Charlemagne, as he leads his troops against the Saracens in Spain. The battle ends in tragedy, with Roland and his men dying in a heroic last stand. The Song of Roland is a masterpiece of medieval literature, and this edition is an excellent introduction to the poem for English-speaking readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
