Can we go back to having random women with weapons in bodies of water electing our leaders? I mean, imagine the headlines: Local mayor chosen by lady of the swimming pool with a nerf gun.”

Marvelous stuff. Oddly enough, Roland was a more popular character in Italy than France, so he appears as "Orlando" in most of the legends.

Language of edition: Russian

+ Уникальный в своем роде сборник рыцарских легенд, переложенный автором на более понятный язык для современника.

+ Приятный слог, который легко читается, несмотря на то что книга написана в позапрошлом веке. Сам автор старается сохранить стилистику преданий прошлого, что ему удается.

+ Обилие информации: читатель, не сведущий в средневековом фольклоре узнает для себя много нового даже о таких известных героях, как Артур из Камелота.

+ Дополнительные исторические справки от автора помогают лучше понять изложенные рассказы.

I just couldn't get in to it. Too much like a college textbook.
