Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: With Pearl and Sir Orfeo

Me está encantando la historia y todo el proceso que se llevó a cabo para la recopilación y traducción del poema. Constituye en una travesía en la naturaleza humana y cuán frágil puede llegar a ser. El honor, la fe y la fidelidad son siempre cuestionados y atacados por terceros, si tienes la fuerza de voluntad necesaria para aceptar que eres humano y que eras de vez en cuando te hace noble.

Kitap iyi bir kondisyonda elime ulaştı. İçeriğe yorum yapmaya gerek bile yok, Tolkien'den söz ediyoruz!

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, and Sir Orfeo is a collection of Tolkien’s translations of these medieval poems—a collection I’ve been meaning to get around to for some time.Having read and enjoyed some other translation works of Tolkien’s (eg. The Fall of Author; The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun; Kullervo), I knew what to expect with this and wasn’t disappointed.For me, all three works are certainly worth the time. Pearl often gets voted least liked out of the three. Which is a shame, because, though different in style to the others, it’s still poignant. The show stealer, however, in my opinion, would be the inclusion of Tolkien’s lecture on Sir Gawain—I relished every word of his insight.

Muito bom.

Much pleased with this hardcover used copy (1975). Delivered quickly and,crucially,was well packaged.Will definitely consider ordering again from this book company.
