| Description | The article tries to analyze the relationships between the Middle Ages, medieval history, and heroic poems on one hand and the twentieth and twenty first century literature on the other hand. Herman Huppen s comics series Les Tours de Bois Maury is primarily a product of its autho s fantasy, but the inspiration by the world of chansons de geste is indisputable: crusades, pilgrimages to the Holy Land, to Jerusalem and Santiago de Compostella, cruelty of medieval battles, friendship and solidarism of warriors regardless whether they are knights or not. |
