«Erec et Enide» is the Arthurian novel by Chrétien de Troyes, published by LGF (Le Livre de Poche) in paperback (534 pages, in French).
Considered the first novel by the first great French novelist, the story follows Erec, knight of King Arthur's Round Table, and his wife Enide as they face a series of adventures and trials that test their love, honour and loyalty. A key work of the medieval courtly romance, it combines chivalric deeds with the refinement and codes of the Arthurian court.
First instalment of the Romances Arthuriennes series. Edition number 4526 of the Lettres gothiques collection, published in 1992.
Aimed at readers interested in medieval and Arthurian literature, and at students of French who want to discover the origins of the courtly romance.
Chrétien de Troyes was a French poet and trouvère known for his writing on Arthurian subjects such as Gawain, Lancelot, Perceval, and the Holy Grail. Chrétien's chivalric romances, including Erec and Enide, Lancelot, Perceval, and Yvain, represent some of the best-regarded works of medieval literature. His use of structure, particularly in Yvain, has been seen as a step toward the modern novel.
