Krátky popis
This smart new paperback edition contains the fully-reset text of
three medieval English poems, translated by Tolkien for the
modern-day reader and containing romance, tragedy, love, sex and
honour. It features a beautifully decorated text and includes as a
bonus the complete version of Tolkien's acclaimed lecture on Sir
Gawain. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl are two poems by
an unknown author written in about 1400. Sir Gawain is a romance, a
fairy-tale for adults, full of life and colour, but it is also much
more than this, being at the same time a powerful moral tale which
examines religious and social values. Pearl is apparently an elegy
on the death of a child, a poem pervaded with a sense of great
personal loss: but, like Gawain it is also a sophisticated and
moving debate on much less tangible matters. Sir Orfeo is a
slighter romance, belonging to an earlier and different tradition.
It was a special favourite of Tolkien's. The three translations
represent the complete rhyme and alliterative schemes of the
originals, and are uniquely accompanied with the complete text of
Tolkien's acclaimed 1953 W.P. Ker Memorial Lecture that he
delivered on Sir Gawain.
