"Rolandkanto" by Eugène Noël is a poetic translation of the medieval epic "La Chanson de Roland," written in the early 20th century. This new rendition presents the original work alongside a French translation, seeking to revitalize a monumental piece of French literature. The poem explores themes of valor, national identity, and the historical conflict between Christians and Saracens, centered on the figure of Roland, a noble warrior and nephew to Emperor Charlemagne. At the start of "Rolandkanto," the narrative sets the stage for the conflict in Spain, introducing King Marsil' of Saragossa, who grapples with the threat posed by Charlemagne's forces. As Marsil' consults with his barons about their dire situation, he decides to seek a deceitful peace by sending delegates to the French king. The opening ignites tension and foreshadows betrayal, as characters plot against one another, laying the groundwork for the epic battles and themes of loyalty that will follow in Roland's tragic saga.
