French translation. "Le roman de Tristan et Iseut" by Joseph Bédier. Published by L'Edition D'Art.
"Tristan and Iseut" is an influential romance story, retold in numerous sources with as many variations since the 12th century. The story is a tragedy about the adulterous love between the Cornish knight Tristan (Tristram) and the Irish princess Iseult (Isolde, Yseult). The narrative predates and most likely influenced the Arthurian romance of Lancelot and Guinevere and has had a substantial impact on Western art and literature. While the details of the story differ from one author to another, the overall plot structure remains much the same.
