About this book
Tristan ja Isolde by Joseph Bédier sweeps listeners into a haunting, timeless tale of love, honor, and fate drawn from the medieval Celtic tradition.

The narrative moves from Tristan’s formative years and heroic exploits to the tangled loyalties of kings, knights, and queens, exploring themes of passion, duty, betrayal, and the price of desire without giving away the saga’s pivotal turns. Rich in poetic atmosphere, the prose evokes mythic landscapes, courtly ritual, and the ethical dilemmas of a chivalric age. As much a work of literature as a romance, this rendition preserves the legendary power of the original while offering clarity and dramatic momentum for modern listeners. Perfect for fans of Romance, Myths/Legends, and classic Literature, this audiobook will appeal to anyone captivated by legendary love stories, medieval lore, and emotionally resonant retellings that linger long after the final line.
