Synopsis

The most famous of medieval epics in modern French prose!
Death, honor, betrayal, more death! What a story! The Chanson de Roland, the most famous of medieval epics, is no available in modern French prose. I have used excerpts from the Chanson with my own French classes for years, and I was tired of having to photocopy pages. NTC Publishing accepted my proposal of an Intermediate-level reader based on the Chanson. The text is divided into short chapters with questions, and there is a list of all characters at the end. The Chanson attracts students from all cultures and backgrounds. The tale of valiant knights holding a mountain pass against overwhelming odds has continued to thrill readers for over eight centuries. This book makes the Chanson accessible to those with two years of high school French or one year of college French.
