The Books Oracle
by Unknown
The oldest surviving French epic poem, born from a 778 Pyrenean ambush of Charlemagne's rearguard. Roland's defiant stand against overwhelming Saracen forces becomes a legendary meditation on honor, loyalty, and the cost of heroism. A foundational text of medieval literature, stirring and bloodsoaked in equal measure.
