«Tristán e Iseo» is the medieval tale by Béroul, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
The tale comes from the French oral tradition; the earliest written versions date from the 12th century. Béroul's version, by an author about whom little is known, stands out for its poetic craftsmanship and preserves episodes of archaic, wild atmosphere, with the mythical force of the forbidden love between Tristán e Iseo.
Fifth edition in the Letras Universales collection, edited by Roberto Ruiz Capellán.
For readers of medieval literature, poetry and classic fiction, including those interested in Arthurian matter.
Béroul was a Norman or Breton poet of the mid-to-late 12th century. He is usually credited with the authorship of Tristran, a Norman language version of the legend of Tristan and Iseult, of which just under 4500 verses survive in a manuscript of the 13th century. His name is known only from two references in the text of the poem.
