«Yvain le Chevalier au lion» is an edition with extracts from the chivalric novel by Chrétien de Troyes (Gallimard-Jeunesse, paperback, 186 p., French).
Yvain, a knight of the Round Table, marries the beautiful Laudine and sets off to fight with King Arthur, promising to return in a year. When he breaks his word, he loses Laudine's love; in despair, he goes on adventures with a lion whose life he has saved, hoping to win back his wife's forgiveness.
The book belongs to the Folio Junior collection and the Romances Arthuriennes series; it includes passages from the Romans de la Table Ronde.
For young readers and students approaching medieval Arthurian classics.
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.
