«La quête du Graal» is the Arthurian novel edited by Albert Béguin and Yves Bonnefoy, published by Seuil in paperback (309 pages, in French).
An anonymous work of the Arthurian cycle that recounts the quest for the Holy Grail by the knights of the Round Table. It is both an adventure tale and a spiritual allegory in which every episode, dream or encounter holds a hidden meaning; the instructions of the hermits mark the heroes' progression towards the final revelation.
Published on June 1, 1982, this volume is part of Seuil's Points Sagesses collection (no. Sa 30).
Recommended for readers of medieval literature and the Arthurian cycle, as well as for those seeking a spiritual and symbolic reading.
Yves Jean Bonnefoy was a French poet and art historian. He also published a number of translations, most notably the plays of William Shakespeare which are considered among the best in French. He was a professor at the Collège de France from 1981 to 1993 and is the author of several works on art, art history, and artists including Miró and Giacometti, and a monograph on Paris-based Iranian artist Farhad Ostovani. The Encyclopædia Britannica states that Bonnefoy was ″perhaps the most important French poet of the latter half of the 20th century.″
