Autore di I romanzi cortesi
Sull'Autore
Author of early Arthurian romances, Chrétien de Troyes was born in France around 1150. Little is known about this medieval writer. His poems cannot be dated, except to say that they were written sometime in the second half of the twelfth century. His most famous works include Erec; Cligès; mostra altro Lancelot, ou Le Chevalier à la Charrette; Yvain, ou Le Chevalier au Lion; Perceval, ou Le Conte du Graal, and Guillaume d'Angleterre. He also composed a version of Tristan and Isolde. During his life, he enjoyed the patronage of Marie de Champagne, the daughter of Philip of Flanders and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Although it is not confirmed, it is believed that he died in Paris in 1190. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra meno

The weird world of medieval knights. Behaviour that makes no sense and is never explained. The necessity of fighting everyone. Kings who wander around and appear in the unlikeliest places. Women who make weird requests that don't make sense and whose motivations are never explained. The exision of dead flesh following a fight. Odd stuff. I only read Erec and Enide and after that I felt like I couldn't wade through another 8000 lines of this.

The story opens with a pleasure ride with Erec, Guinevere, and one of Guinevere's maids meet with a knight, his lady, and the knight's dwarf. Because the dwarf strikes the maid across the face, Erec challenges the dwarf to combat and then rides after the knight, with a promise to Guinevere that he shall return in 3 days.
He does, after finding a Count's castle where an older lord has fallen onto hard times, and who has the loveliest of daughters, Enide. In true romance fashion, the young people fall in love, Erec promises lands and castles to her father, and he bests the earlier knight at his quest to obtain a hunting hawk.
The two young people return to Arthur's court, feasting and a wedding ensue, and then they pretty much take to their marriage bed for a couple of years. Because Enide has overheard some of the knights at court whisper that Erec has lost his questing prowess, she weeps at this unfortunate stain to his reputation. Erec becomes enraged at Enide and forces her to journey with him in search of a quest.
And quests ensue. And multiple single combats with worthy opponents, swords that cleave shields and heads in twain, and on in French romance fashion until the final combat. It is called Joie de la Cort (explained in the Afterword as a play on several words) and has resulted in the deaths of nearly 80 worthy knights. But Erec wins, spares the other knight's life, and a return to court with his reputation restored ends this tale.
It is presented and translated as a poem, rather than as prose, and the translator has taken pains to retain the metre and the feel of the original rather than the rhyme. All of which made reading the short phrases easier, though certainly less poetic, and still evocative of the medieval romantic world.… (altro)
