Synopsis :

A retelling of the 13th-century French legend of Lancelot and the mutual love between him and Galehaut, Lord of the Distant Isles.

Retellings of the Old French story of King Arthur, Guenevere, and Lancelot have left out a fourth figure amongst these legendary star-crossed lovers, the man who loved the knight, Lancelot. He was Galehaut, a mortal enemy of Arthur, and the invincible Lord of the Distant Isles. And he was Guenevere's rival for Lancelot's passion. The story is now complete, as a tragic double-love story, its complexity and emotional depth restored for the modern reader.

It is an extraordinary tale. For love of Lancelot, Galehaut surrenders his political ambitions, submitting to the rule of Arthur; the same love leads him to facilitate relations between Lancelot and the Queen. The mighty Lord of the Distant Isles, who had seemed destined to conquer the world, becomes a paragon of love-inspired self-sacrifice in this ancient tale of one man who deeply loves another.

� propos de l?auteur: It is the achievement of Patricia Terry and Samuel Rosenberg, both seasoned translators of medieval romance, to tease out from the French sources the essential story of Lancelot, Guinevere, Galehaut, and Arthur, and, without distorting the original, retell it for today's readers. Terry has taught French and comparative literature and Rosenberg is Professor Emeritus of French and Italian at Indiana University, Bloomington.

Hardback. Etat : New. This story of the passionate, adulterous, tragic love of Lancelot and Guinevere is at once the perfect expression of 'courtly love' and its inversion. Lancelot, the heroic stranger in King Arthur's court, sacrifices all in service of his king, and yet also falls in love with Arthur's queen, the most beautiful woman in Britain.That this spotless knight, who repeatedly saves Arthur and his world from destruction, should be the fateful underminer of the king's self-confidence and, ultimately, a terrible weapon in the hands of Arthur's great adversary Galehaut, is a contradiction that has fascinated the Western mind for hundreds of years.The Arthurian legend that most of us know comes from Malory and "The Once and Future King". But there are also several books, including the thirteenth-century "Book of Galehaut", which gives a surprising and unfamiliar version. It is a double love story - the tale not only of Lancelot's love for Guinevere, but also the love of Galehaut, the Lord of the Distant Isles, for Lancelot. N� de r�f. du vendeur LU-9781567923247
