The epicSong of The Cid, one of the highlights of world literature, gallops across the fields of Spain in the most brilliant English translation yet. TheCarmen Campidoctoris, penned by a monk in Catalonia, was written while the Cid was still alive. TheRomancesof the Cid are folk ballads that, like todaysStar Warsspinoffs, fill in the gaps with prequels and sequels, adding drama (and yes, romance) to El Cids amazing story.This threedimensional view of El Cid is tripledyet again, with an unprecedented series of three beautifully matched volumes this powerful English rendition, a fine modern Spanish version, and authoritative editions of the original medieval texts.
