The Troubadours - singers of Love and the Beautiful Lady - created not only a wonderful poetic culture, but also a unique culture of love, and elevated the experience of love to the level of art. The main theme, content and essence of the poetry of the troubadours is love for the Lady, love, which is usually called “courtly”. The book by Genevieve Brunel-Laubrichon and Claudie Duhamel-Amado provides a basis for reflection on a variety of topics, one way or another connected with the troubadours and their era: “troubadours and Cathars”, “troubadours and the Church”, “courtiness and ministry”...For a more complete presentation of “everyday life during the times of the troubadours of the 12th–13th centuries”, the book is supplemented with translations from Old Occitan poetry.
