Rosenberg, one of the premier translators of Old French, presents in this volume the first modern English-language version of the thirteenth-century French romance Robert le Diable, a tale of supernatural birth and spiritual redemption.Robert is born after his mother, a childless noblewoman, secretly calls upon Satan to help her conceive. His wicked behavior as a boy and, later, as a destructive young man is so brutal that one day Robert prevails upon his mother to reveal the secret of his birth and thus the source of his wickedness. Upon learning the truth, he leaves his privileged home in Normandy to seek salvation. Robert's lengthy penance―under the aegis of the Pope and a pious hermit―begins with his acting as a mute fool in the Roman Emperor's court and ends with his sainthood. In between he plays the hero's role in defeating the Turks in battle and turns down the hand of the Emperor's daughter in marriage, choosing instead to return to the hermit's abode.Read more[b]AusFile[/b]https://ausfile.com/r5l6tnxoou9m/470as.7z.htmlRapidGatorhttps://rg.to/file/889e52a1e98e25be80da4051446a2dfd/470as.7z.html[b]UploadCloud[/b]https://uploadcloud.pro/zihnkpa0ul2a/470as.7z.htmlFileaxahttps://fileaxa.com/bw3vml6ppyb9/470as.7zFikperhttps://fikper.com/2EbLlhKejW/470as.7z.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
