«El caballero de la carreta» is the Arthurian novel by Chrétien de Troyes, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback and in Spanish.
Lancelot, knight of the Round Table, sets out to rescue Queen Guinevere after her abduction. Written in the twelfth century, the work founds the courtly lover and pits the hero's honor against his amorous devotion, until he accepts the humiliation of riding in a cart of infamy to fulfill his mission.
It belongs to the Biblioteca Artúrica, within El Libro de Bolsillo from Alianza Editorial. The edition includes translation and introduction by Luis Alberto de Cuenca and Carlos García Gual.
For readers of medieval classics and the Arthurian cycle, as well as for those who want to learn the origin of the character of Lancelot.
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.
