Used Book – Tristan and Iseult, Fanny Deschamps

"They groped for each other like blind people, unhappy when separated, even more unhappy when, reunited, they trembled before the horror of their feelings." Tristan and Isolde are madly in love; but he is King Mark's nephew and she is his wife. The most famous love story of the Middle Ages, in a new adaptation that restores all its subtlety and intensity. A novel about fatal love: benchmarks for better understanding; a reading guide for studying the work in class; a "texts and images" grouping for further exploration. What is courtly love? An investigation into courtly love, a new art of living that emerged at court in the 12th century.
