«El Cuento del Grial» is the medieval Arthurian novel by Chrétien de Troyes, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
A strong, skilled hunter and naive boy grows up isolated in a Welsh forest, with only his mother and some farmhands. Descended from knights, he decides to follow that calling and arrives at the Arthurian court; his adventure combines heroic feats, wondrous episodes, a love story, and a moral lesson linked to the Grail.
Work originally published around 1180 as «Perceval ou le Conte du Graal». This Spanish edition includes a translation by Carlos Alvar Ezquerra and belongs to the Arthurian Romances series.
For readers of medieval classics, Arthurian legend, and chivalric literature.
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.
