About the book

The Roman de Renart is a medieval French cycle of animal tales about Renart the fox, who outwits and torments Ysengrin the wolf, Noble the lion king, and others. In each episode, Renart uses trickery, flattery, and disguise to escape punishment or play a cruel joke. Jean Dufournet's translation presents the earliest episodes in modern French, and the stories poke fun at feudal society, the Church, and the courtly world.

It suits readers of medieval literature and those who like satire and beast fables. The episodes are short and can be read separately.
