Cântarea despre Guillaume

Rate this book
Cea mai influentă epopee a Franţei medievale

Cîntarea despre Guillaume este cea mai veche epopee franceză după Roland. Textul povesteşte luptele eroilor carolingieni împotriva invadatorilor sarazini şi se constituie implicit într-o pledoarie pentru cruciadă, în secolul al XII-lea. Tradus, adaptat şi continuat în literaturile franceză, germană şi italiană, poemul reprezintă nucleul celui mai bogat filon epic medieval. Totodată, este martorul precoce al unei estetici specific franceze, în care tragicul se amestecă cu comicul, hiperbola cu realismul crud, tradiţia rigidă cu inovaţia ironică, într-un text de o surprinzătoare modernitate. Păstrată într-un singur manuscris, descoperit abia în 1901, Cîntarea despre Guillaume este tradusă şi publicată acum pentru prima dată în limba română.

It really feels amazing seeing and finding out more about our past from such an intersting source. The historicity of the source doesn't even matter as much, as lomg as it is presented in such a refined manner.

Reading this chanson de geste made me realise the importance of oral tradition and of the ancient epics, such as the Illiad, which is heavily represented here. It's a pitty the legend of Guillaume isn't as famous as that of Roland

Entretenido pero no encuentro más que eso. Para mí, el atractivo medieval arranca con Chretien, bai feus.
