About This Novel
"Horace" includes the work "Horace" by Corneille, the representative of French classical tragedy, and "The Song of Roland", the first work of French literature. "Horace" is based on ancient legends or stories, and they are all chosen at critical moments in Roman history. The sense of crisis of the era is very strong, which coincides with the situation of Corneille's era. "Song of Roland" is a great epic in medieval Europe, which turns an ordinary anecdote into a glorious legend. Among them, you can see a large number of parallel sentences, simple images and metaphors, descriptions of the characters' psychology and intentions, as well as duplication and exaggeration common in folk songs. This chronicle of the tragedy of Ronsevoir in 778 reflects more of the spirit and characteristics of the times in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. You can read about the conflict between two worlds, two civilizations, and two religions. Some people praise it and say that it has the broad and flowing grace of Homer and the bold and powerful writing style of Dante.
