{"product_id":"9780806130224","title":"Poem of the Cid : A Modern Translation with Notes by Paul Blackburn","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew works have shaped a national literature as thoroughly as the Poem of the Cid has shaped the Spanish literary tradition. Tracing the life of the eleventh-century military commander Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, called El Cid (from the Arabic Sayyidi, \"\"My Lord\"\"), this medieval epic describes a series of events surrounding his exile. The text of the poem survives in only one early-thirteenth-century manuscript copied by a single scribe, yet centuries later the figure of the Cid still was celebrated in the Spanish popular ballad tradition. Today almost every theme that characterizes Spanish literature-honor, justice, loyalty, treachery, and jealousy - derives from the Poem of the Cid.Restored by poet and medievalist George Economou, this elegant and spirited translation by Paul Blackburn is judged by many the finest English translation of a great medieval poem.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42728196145227,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":782.59,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9780806130224-1.jpg?v=1783359449","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/products\/9780806130224","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
