Among works attractive by their rare artistic finish, beauty of illustration, and loftiness of purpose, this should undoubtedly take high rank. -- British Books.
Dating from the 12th century, this tale of a star-crossed romance between a Cornish knight and an Irish princess is rooted in Celtic legend and French poetry. Tristan's heroic exploits win Iseult as a bride for his uncle, King Mark. But during their sea voyage to Mark's kingdom, Tristan and Iseult unknowingly drink a love potion that arouses their passion for each other and raises irresistible challenges to their loyalty and honor.
The Romance of Tristan and Iseult has been interpreted in many forms, from opera and paintings to novels and films. This stunning edition, featuring a subtle color treatment by noted German illustrator Robert Engels, brings the tale to life with effects similar to those of modern graphic novels. Recounted by French medievalist Joseph Bédier and expertly translated by Hilaire Belloc, the story blends visual impact with literary quality.

About the Author

Author and scholar Joseph Bédier (1864-1938) was an expert on medieval French history. He established his reputation as a writer with the 1900 publication of Le roman de Tristan et Iseult and as a scholar with Les Légendes épiques, a four-volume study of the origins of French epic poetry.
German illustrator Robert Engels (1866-1926) was educated at Düsseldorf's Academy of Art and taught at the Munich Academy. He particularly excelled at the depiction of legends and sagas.
Anglo-French author and historian Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) was among the 20th century's most prolific writers; his works included poetry, essays, and travel books.
