Ratzenberger Roland

A contemporary prose rendering of the great medieval French epic, The Song of Roland is as canonical and significant as the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf. It extols the chivalric ideals in the France of Charlemagne through the exploits of Charlemagne's nephew, the warrior Roland, who fights bravely to his death in a legendary battle. Against the bloody backdrop of the struggle between Christianity and Islam, The Song of Roland remains a vivid portrayal of medieval life, knightly adventure, and feudal politics. The first great literary works of a culture are its epic chronicles, those that create simple hero-figures about whom the imagination of a nation can crystallize, observed V. S. Pritchett. The Song of Roland is animated by the crusading spirit and fortified by national and religious propaganda. This edition features W. S. Merwin's glowing, lyrical translation.

The author of the acclaimed novel Revere Beach Boulevard writes his own story of place, class, family, and love "Sentimentality is cheap. Real emotion is difficult to render. Memoirists walk a tightrope between sentimentality and simple feeling. What gives Revere Beach Elegy its vitality and "worth" is the author"s taut prose and his fearlessness to run across that tightrope." --Greg Lalas, Boston Magazine In Revere Beach Elegy, Roland Merullo returns to his childhood heaven of Revere, Massachusetts, to begin an intricate, impressionistic portrait of his rich and complex life. The tough codes of Revere"s working-class streets mix with the warmth and affirmation of family-- forty cousins, grandparents, aunts, and uncles--to form a background against which Merullo"s later wanderings are always set. "I"ve never met Roland Merullo, or even read anything he"s written before now. Yet today I feel as if I"ve known him my whole life. . . . At the close of Elegy, the reader is comfortably walking alongside a man who has grown into himself, accepted and embraced his past." --Ray Suarez, The Washington Post Praise for Roland Merullo"s Revere Beach Boulevard: "A great novel--ambitious, heartfelt, generous, and oh-so-skilled." --Richard Russo Roland Merullo is the author of Revere Beach Boulevard, A Russian Requiem, and Leaving Losapas. He lives in western Massachusetts with his wife and daughters.
