Reviews

"Very highly recommended! Not to be missed!"

— MBR California Bookwatch

This book is fiction. Much written about President Harding needs further examination, as so much myth has grown up.  That said, this is a delightful book and much of it does have a basis in hard historical fact.  The author has written a completely charming and engrossing tale.  So despite my reluctance to further any more mythology about President Harding, I can say this book is engaging and worth a read as a work of beautifully crafted fiction.

— James D. Robenalt,
author of The Harding Affair: Love and Espionage during the Great War

Summary

Monday, November 25, 1963. President John F. Kennedy is buried in Arlington. During the stillness of this momentous day, Tristan Tecumseh Hamilton begins a long look back at his life and times, and at the life and times of his neighbor and fellow townsman, President Warren G Harding - who died mysteriously in San Francisco forty years before. Throughout this final week of November 1963, the assassination and burial of President Kennedy becomes the mirror through which the now aging Tristan views the storied and long buried past as it rises all around him. Power and love, ambition and loyalty, war and the devotion to home - these universal themes weave through the rich and intricate tapestry of this magesterial American epic that encompasses the world from the vantage of home.

About the Author

Born and raised in Marion, Ohio, in the middle decades of the twentieth century, Vincent Nicolosi grew up in an era when Harding lore, like Indian lore, was still in the air. History and legends lingered on rumors too. These he absorbed from stories told by those who knew and mixed with Warren and Florence Harding, who shook hands with Babe Ruth, dined with Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, exchanged points of view with Henry Ford, and with those who labored to build the town, run the railroads, and construct the steam shovels that dug the Panama Canal. Nicolosi's own life has led him to far-flung places including Latin America and, years ago, the mountains of northern Nicaragua. He now lives in the eastern United States.

Summary

The most complete and beautiful version of Joseph Bédier’s classic ever to appear in English, including Gaston Paris’s original Preface, Bédier’s historic essay “On the Nature of the Legend of Tristan and Iseult” and Vincent Nicolosi’s Introduction, which sheds light on the tale’s Celtic nature and origins. Joseph Bédier published Le Roman de Tristan et Iseut in 1900 in Paris. A few years later Hilaire Belloc introduced the English-speaking world to this marvelous tale with his equally marvelous translation. Or rather, he introduced the English-speaking world to part of this tale. One definite shortcoming of Belloc’s otherwise compelling and exquisite translation is that he omitted, suppressed, so very, very much; in fact, thousands upon thousands of words, including: four chapters, either in their entirety or in part, along with a scattering of sections, phrases, and single words. Some of Belloc’s omissions were inexplicable, though he obviously found certain passages too steamy and indelicate. Decades later, and decades ago, Paul Rosenfeld restored some of Belloc’s omissions. But not all. Nor did he correct the scattered errors found in Belloc’s original English text. Now Fonthill Press makes available for the first time in well over a century the most complete, exquisite, and definitive edition of Joseph Bédier’s The Romance of Tristan and Iseult to ever appear in the English language. From beginning to end this Fonthill edition - available both as an eBook and in an elegantly beautiful archival edition, reasonably priced - retains the poetry and loveliness of the original, along with the sense of fatality and pathos that have made this tragic romance one of the most enduring and fascinating tales in all of literature.

About the Author

Joseph Bédier  (1864-1938), born in Paris to a family of Celtic origin, was brought up on the island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean, though he was educated in Paris. He became one of the preeminent French medievalists and literary historians of his time and is best known for his modern French prose translation of the Le roman de Tristan et Iseult, first published in 1900. Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953), Anglo-French historian, essayist, novelist, poet and translator was born at Saint-Cloud, Paris, the son of a French father and an English mother; he spent most of his life in England. He was the author of approximately 150 volumes; his beautiful rendering into English of Bédier’s The Romance of Tristan and Iseult is, perhaps, the most enduring and beloved of many his works.
