«Perceval» is the chivalric novel by Chrétien de Troyes adapted by Lluís Maria Todó, published by Proa in hardcover (85 pages, in Catalan).
The story follows a boy raised apart from the world, who does not even know his name. After encountering five knights, he decides to go to King Arthur's court to be made a knight. Along the way, he faces combats, love and the enigma of the Grail, and it remains to be seen whether this inexperienced youth becomes a perfect knight.
Catalan edition of 1990, with illustrations by Marta Balaguer; it belongs to the El fanal de Proa collection (no. 16).
Recommended for readers of medieval literature and fans of 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.
