The Cid: A Literal Translation, By Roscoe Mongan This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Autorenporträt
Pierre Corneille, often hailed as one of France's greatest playwrights, was born on June 6, 1606, in Rouen, Normandy. Corneille's oeuvre is vast and influential, with a career that spanned the tumultuous seventeenth century, a period rich in literary and social change. Educated as a lawyer, Corneille quickly turned to playwriting as his true calling. His initial works garnered attention, but it was 'Le Cid' (1637), a tragicomedy based on the legend of the Spanish hero El Cid, that cemented his reputation and sparked heated literary debates on the nature of drama. The play's blend of honor, love, and conflict embodies the classical ideals that would characterize much of Corneille's later work. Known for his mastery of the French classical style, Corneille crafted plays that balanced strict adherence to the unities of time, place, and action with profound psychological insights into his characters. His works often revolve around themes of duty, love, and heroism, pushing the boundaries of dramatic form and creating a template for the classical tragedy. Besides 'The Cid', his notable plays include 'Horace' (1640), 'Cinna' (1641), and 'Polyeucte' (1643). Corneille's influence on French literature is immeasurable, impacting contemporaries such as Molière and Racine and leaving a legacy that resonates through the Western literary tradition. He died on October 1, 1684, in Paris, leaving behind a body of work that continues to be celebrated for its elegance, intellectual depth, and dramatic power.
