Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Song of Roland Charlemagne has had the fortune, unique so far as I know, of being a hero both of history and of fable. The one character seems in general to exclude the other. Achilles, Odin, the Cid, King Arthur, Cuchullin, whose achievements are unknown, whose existence has been questioned, have been the centres of the greatest cycles of legendary romance. On the other hand, is it not at first thought surprising that a figure so dazzling and romantic as Alexander the Great, whose recorded exploits may vie with those of the hero of the Iliad, whom he envied, never became the theme of popular song? The same may be said of Hannibal, of Julius Cæsar, and Napoleon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
