«Perceval ou le roman du Graal» is the Arthurian tale by Chrétien de Troyes, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (255 pages, in French).
Perceval, raised apart from the world and ignorant of chivalry, one day feels the desire to accomplish great deeds and sets off for King Arthur's court to be knighted. Before receiving the shield and the lance, he must prove his courage and confront the mystery of the Grail, in an Arthurian tale full of adventures.
The work, composed around 1180, belongs to the Arthurian romances of Chrétien de Troyes. This special edition from the Folio Junior collection adds 32 pages of supplementary material.
Intended for young readers approaching the Arthurian legend and medieval chivalric tales for the first time.
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.
