Présentation de l'éditeur :
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
Quatrième de couverture :
Une traduction nouvelle et richement annotée du livre fondateur de notre littérature, d'une légende qui, autant que celle de Troie, a fait le tour du monde. Voyageant au Brésil en 1977, un Français arrive «dans un village très isolé du Rio Grande do Norte». «Un paysan assez âgé, quand il a su que je venais de France, m'a demandé des nouvelles de Roland. Chaque soir, les paysans du Nordeste chantent des complaintes : l'histoire des douze preux de Charlemagne, du traître Ganelon, d'Amadis de Gaule. Le paysan se montrait soucieux. La dispute entre Roland et Olivier ne lui disait rien de bon. Il n'aurait pas misé cher sur le bonheur de la belle Aude.»
