Synopsis

In this verse translation of "Cliges," written by Chretien de Troyes circa 1176, Ruth Harwood Cline not only preserves the artistry of the original work but also captures the wit, irony, and striking emotional power of Chretien's stylistic genius and highly structured form.The romance begins with the marriage of Cliges's parents and continues with the clandestine, mutual love of their son and his uncle's bride, Fenice. Cliges and Fenice are finally united after executing a false-death plot aided by black magic.With a thoroughness and clarity that will appeal to students and scholars of medieval literature, Cline's accessible translation effectively conveys the sparkle, pace, and intricate wordplay of Chretien's love monologues, classic themes, and complex poetic devices. In addition, her introduction sheds new light on the transmission of British history and legend to the French court of Champagne. With themes that echo from the Tristan legend to "Romeo and Juliet," "Cliges" is an exciting romance about young lovers who escape from an arranged match and find true love in marriage.

Paperback. Condition: NEUF. Rédigé vers 1176, après Erec et Enide, avant Yvain, Lancelot et Perceval, Cligès n'est pas, contrairement à ces quatre récits, un roman arthurien : les deux héros, Alexandre et son fils Cligès, sont Grecs et vivent à Constantinople. Chrétien les fait évoluer entre Constantinople, leurPatrie, et la Bretagne du roi Arthur, en un va-et-vient perpétuel entre l'Est et l'Ouest, entre l'Occident et l'Orient, réunis en la personne de Cligès, petit-fils de l'empereur de Constantinople et petit-neveu du roi Arthur. Dans ce cadre oriental, Chrétien entrelace une histoire d'amour calquéeSur la légende de Tristan et Iseut et le conte de la fausse morte qui abuse son mari pour fuir avec son amant, en exploitant très ostensiblement toutes les ressources de la rhétorique. Les meneurs du jeu ne sont pas les amants, Cligès et Fénice, mais leurs serviteurs, Thessala la magicienne etJean l'architecte, deux maîtres dans l'art de l'artifice et de l'illusion, dont les talents peu communs sont à l'image des pouvoirs quasi magiques de la création littéraire.De la production littéraire du Moyen Âge français, le lecteur moderne ne connaît guère que quelques noms et quelques oeuvres, la plupart justement célèbres. Le pari de cette nouvelle collection est de leur donner une plus large diffusion en proposant des éditions remises à jour, assorties de traductions originales et de tout ce qui peut en faciliter la compréhension. Mais il a paru tout aussi important d'associer à ces valeurs établies des oeuvres moins connues, souvent peu accessibles, capables cependant de susciter à leur tour le plaisir de la découverte. - Nombre de page(s) : 1 vol. (460 p.) - Poids : 0g - Langue : fre - Genre : Littérature Romans Poche Champion classiques. Seller Inventory # N9782745314130
