### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Entertaining and Informative (Weird Intro, Though)
  

*by R***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2005*

I thought the story "Silence" was very good, surprisingly interesting and engaging given its age. Its plot was not unlike many modern tales, which I found interesting also.If I have one complaint, it is that the translator used some seemingly too modern vocabulary in her translation, like "hit the road," though I suppose there could be something quite similar in old French usage.The most amusing part is the introduction, that among other things, mentioned that the story shows a hatred for women. They describe insults from the story against women. As a woman, I thought "Yeah, seems about right for a book written in that time." But lo and behold, turns out, the writer threw only as many insults towards evil women as he lavished great praises upon the women of good virtue. And he even said as much at the end, almost as if he were speaking in reply to the introduction. Didn't do him much good, though, they didn't listen. ;)About the story, it was much better than I expected, with lots of excitement (never a dull moment) and strong characters. My main disappointment was the end, but I'll leave that to be discovered.Cheers!

    Thirteenth Century Renaissance in High Gear...
  

*by N***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2018*

Sarah Roche-Mahdi's brilliant dual-language edition of the old French romance called Silence is destined, I am certain, to stand out as a shining example of how all medieval texts should be brought before the general public's attention.  Everything you need is here, and thankfully, in a concise and clear form - discussion of the text, the possible history of the text, and the invaluable presence of the original language of the poem.  The story is amazing, and Ms. Roche-Mahdi is to be highly praised for a job so well executed.  (I wish she would work on translating L'Estoire Merlin!)...

    good triumph over evil
  

*by P***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2014*

There are many aspects to this story of Silence.Parents overwhelming love for their daughter, concealing her sex in order for her not to loose her inheritance after the king's decree.A child's obedience to her parents, loyalty to the king, as well a a very humble servant of the poor.For the love of one, she/he became servant of all.Her sacrifice is beyond comprehension.  I imagine it had to have been extremely difficult for her to supress and deal beautifully her feminine emotions and needs all for the restoration of the rightful inheritance of women.  Her good and courageous deeds won her the reversal of the King's decree and the love of the king as well.  A very easy and delightful read.  I will read it again.
