Classic from the year 2009 in the subject Romance Languages - French Literature, language: English, comment: Translated by Clara Bell in 1902, abstract: Chapter 1 "Tschah!" exclaimed old Roland suddenly, after he had remained motionless for a quarter of an hour, his eyes fixed on the water, while now and again he very slightly lifted his line sunk in the sea.
