Le roman de Renart

Description

"The Tale of Renart foreshadows the children's story by depicting animals with human traits, thus creating a pedagogical parable. Medieval literature resonates with the exploits of King Arthur, the knights Lancelot, Tristan, or Perceval, courageous and perfect heroes... but it also echoes those of Renart, the first true figure of the admirable rogue, the cunning disobedient and charming trickster. Within him already exist all our anti-heroes, big-hearted thieves, lazy and dreamy vagabonds. Renart heralds Harlequin, Punch, Scapin, but also Arsène Lupin, Robin Hood, Charlie Chaplin, and many others. Discover him in his true form, brought to life by the lively and ironic voice of Jean Rochefort, making him almost seem to run. Enjoy listening to the tale of his exploits and tricks, his battles against the fierce Ysengrin, the fearful and vain Chanteclerc, the naive Tiècelin, or the proud Noble Lion." Olivier Cohen & Claude Colombini
