The Romance of Tristan and Iseult (Vintage Classics)

Rating:
Summary: Exhausting and Emotional
Review: Wow! This is a story that will touch your soul! Bedier takes the reader away into a mythical world of lords and ladies, dragons, giants and fairy bells... In addition, the story of Tristan and Iseult challenges common concepts of loyalty and love. How can Tristan claim loyalty to King Mark when he commits adultery with his wife? And how can the lovers be blamed when they fell in love through deception? Is God really on their side? I felt so many emotions when I read this. Indeed, I felt a sort of revulsion and yet, admiration for the hero. And finally, despite the lovers deaths, I realized that love does conquer all.
