The series Gothic Letters provides a reliable and accessible entry into medieval literature. Original texts are combined with modern French translations, clear introductions, and extensive annotations. This ensures ease of reading and depth, and a careful and expert commentary makes this rich literary tradition well understandable.
The Lais of Marie de France, written in late-12th-century Brittany, contain adventurous and romantic stories. They are based on folk tales from a mythical world, in which fairies visit mortals and knights transform into werewolves or birds to approach their loved ones.
These texts go beyond fairy tales alone. They combine folkloristic motifs with a unique, poetic style in which the wondrous is a direct expression of love.
The literary works are suitable for users with an advanced language level in French (from B2) and serve as a valuable teaching tool for education, self-study, and cultural depth. Intertaal is your reliable supplier and guarantees fast delivery.
