Kourroglou by George Sand
QR code
"Kourroglou" by George Sand is a work published in 1843. It is Sand's French adaptation of a Central Asian epic about Kourroglou, a legendary Turkmen warrior-poet of the sixteenth century. Based on Alexander Chodzko's English translation of oral Turkish fragments, Sand presents this tale of a bandit hero celebrated for his battles, raids, and poetic improvisations. The complex journey from oral tradition through multiple languages ultimately produced a work that challenged French
readers with its unfamiliar epic style and exotic setting in seventeenth-century Turkmenistan. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
