About the book

A retelling of the medieval legend of the knight Tristan and the Irish princess Iseult. The two are bound by a love potion while Iseult is promised to King Mark.

From the text

“My lords, if you would hear a high tale of love and of death, here is that of Tristan and Queen Iseult; how to their full joy, but to their sorrow also, they loved each other, and how at last they died of that love together upon one day; she by him and he by her.” The Romance of Tristan and Iseult · Joseph Bédier

“Little son, I have longed a while to see you, and now I see you the fairest thing ever a woman bore.

“아들아, 너를 보기를 오랫동안 간절히 바랐는데, 이제 보니 너는 여자가 낳은 것 중 가장 아름다운 아이로구나.”

In sadness came I hither, in sadness did I bring forth, and in sadness has your first feast day gone.

슬픔 속에 내가 여기에 왔고, 슬픔 속에 내가 아이를 낳았으며, 슬픔 속에 너희의 첫 명절이 지나갔도다.

And as by sadness you came into the world, your name shall be called Tristan; that is the child of sadness.”

네가 슬픔으로 세상에 왔으니 네 이름은 트리스탄이라 불릴 것이다. 이는 슬픔의 아이라는 뜻이다.

After she had said these words she kissed him, and immediately when she had kissed him she died.

그녀는 이 말을 하고 나서 그에게 입맞춤을 했고, 입맞춤을 하자마자 곧바로 죽었다.

Rohalt, the keeper of faith, took the child, but already Duke Morgan’s men besieged the Castle of Kanoël all round about.

신의 수호자 로할트는 아이를 데려갔지만, 이미 모건 공작의 군대가 카노엘 성을 사방에서 포위했습니다.

There is a wise saying: “Fool-hardy was never hardy,” and he was compelled to yield to Duke Morgan at his mercy: but for fear that Morgan might slay Rivalen’s heir the Marshal hid him among his own sons.

“무모한 자는 결코 용감한 자가 아니다”라는 현명한 말이 있습니다. 그는 모건 공작의 자비에 굴복할 수밖에 없었습니다. 그러나 모건이 리발렌의 후계자를 죽일까 두려워 원수는 그를 자신의 아들들 사이에 숨겼습니다.

When seven years were passed and the time had come to take the child from the women, Rohalt put Tristan under a good master, the Squire Gorvenal, and Gorvenal taught him in a few years the arts that go with barony.

7년이 지나 아이를 여자에게서 데려올 때가 되자, 로할트는 트리스탄을 훌륭한 주인인 고르베날 기사에게 맡겼고, 고르베날은 몇 년 만에 그에게 남작 작위에 걸맞은 기술을 가르쳤습니다.

He taught him the use of lance and sword and ’scutcheon and bow, and how to cast stone quoits and to leap wide dykes also: and he taught him to hate every lie and felony and to keep his given word; and he taught him the various kinds of song and harp-playing, and the hunter’s craft; and when the child rode among the young squires you would have said that he and his horse and his armour were all one thing.

그는 그에게 창과 칼과 방패와 활을 사용하는 법, 돌 던지기와 넓은 둑을 뛰어넘는 법을 가르쳤고, 모든 거짓말과 범죄를 미워하고 약속을 지키도록 가르쳤으며, 다양한 노래와 하프 연주, 사냥 기술을 가르쳤습니다. 그 아이가 젊은 기사들 사이를 말을 타고 다닐 때면, 그와 그의 말과 갑옷이 하나라고 말할 정도였습니다.
