«Parzival» is the medieval epic poem by Wolfram von Eschenbach, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (448 pages, in English).
Written in the early 13th century, it takes up and completes the unfinished story of Chrétien de Troyes. Parzival moves from childhood to knight of King Arthur and to king of the Grail Temple; the Grail is described as a life-giving stone. It is not just a tale of chivalry but a spiritual quest to overcome ignorance and pride and learn humility.
English translation by A. T. Hatto; edition published in 1980 with bibliography.
Recommended for readers of medieval literature, Arthurian legends, and epic poetry.
