«Tristan et Iseut» is the medieval French novel by Béroul, published by Gallimard Jeunesse in paperback (160 pages, in French).
Tristan, nephew of King Marc of Cornwall, travels to Ireland to fetch Princess Iseut, the king's betrothed. On the ship they mistakenly drink a magic potion that makes them fall in love forever. Their forbidden love forces them to hide, face the barons' suspicions, and flee, in a medieval legend with a tragic ending.
Published in 2010; part of the Folio Junior Textes classiques collection, with illustrations by Nathalie Novi.
Being in French and aimed at a young or school audience, it is suitable for students approaching medieval classics.
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.
