«La Chanson de Roland» is the anonymous medieval epic poem translated by Pierre Jonin, published by Gallimard in paperback (437 pages, in French).
The poem recreates the Battle of Roncevaux (778), when the rearguard of Charlemagne's army, led by the knight Roland, falls into an ambush after Ganelon's betrayal. It exalts honor, loyalty among the twelve peers and the Christian faith, in a narrative that founds French epic poetry.
The Old French text is accompanied by the French translation, preface, notes and commentaries by Pierre Jonin; volume 1150 of the Folio Classique collection.
Recommended for readers interested in medieval literature, epic poetry and French classics.
