«El caballero del león» is the Arthurian novel by Chrétien de Troyes, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (152 pages, in Spanish).
Yvain, a knight of King Arthur's court, faces the challenge of the Fountain and other trials while a grateful lion becomes his companion. The tale interweaves Celtic legends and classical motifs, and spins a reflection on honor, love, and courage.
The work was composed around 1176. This edition belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo collection (no. 1313) and includes translation and introduction by Isabel de Riquer.
For readers of medieval classics, Arthurian legends, and adventure narrative.
Chrétien de Troyes was a French poet and trouvère known for his writing on Arthurian subjects such as Gawain, Lancelot, Perceval, and the Holy Grail. Chrétien's chivalric romances, including Erec and Enide, Lancelot, Perceval, and Yvain, represent some of the best-regarded works of medieval literature. His use of structure, particularly in Yvain, has been seen as a step toward the modern novel.
