«Yvain, le Chevalier au lion» is the chivalric romance by Chrétien de Troyes, published by L'École des Loisirs in paperback (209 pages, in French).
Chrétien de Troyes narrates the deeds of Yvain, a knight of King Arthur's court, in search of adventure and love. He travels through a world of dragons, giants and cruel customs; the friendship of a lion, emblem of loyalty and nobility, enables him to overcome the trials of an initiatory journey that leads him to become fully himself.
This 1992 edition is part of the Médium collection, within French Arthurian literature.
Aimed at young readers aged 12 and up and at those seeking medieval classics and Arthurian legends.
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.
