{"product_id":"the-poem-of-the-cid-9780520309616","title":"The Poem of the Cid","description":"One of the greatest works of Spanish literature, this eight-hundred-year-old saga narrates the legendary exploits of the soldier-adventurer Ruy D az of Bivar, known as El Cid--\"the Lord\"--and his part in the long struggle between Christianity and Islam. The poem recounts the adventures of a broad cast of characters: the Cid; his peerless steed, Babieca, and his two famous swords, Colada and Tiz n; his wife, Do a Ximena, and his two daughters, Do a Elvira and Do a Sol, who found sanctuary with Abbot Don Sancho in the monastery of San Pedro de Carde a during the Cid's exile; and the black-hearted princes of Carri n, Diego and Fernando Gonz lez. This powerful epic sings of universal human values and failures, loyalty and betrayal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lesley Byrd Simpson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520309616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesley Byrd Simpson \u003c\/b\u003ewas a renowned translator of many great works of Spanish literature.
