«Perceval ou le Conte du Graal» is the Arthurian tale by Chrétien de Troyes, published by Hachette Education in paperback (144 pages, in French).
The young Perceval grows up with his mother, away from the world of arms, until an encounter with knights awakens in him the desire to be made a knight. His path leads him to the court of King Arthur and to adventures that culminate in the mysterious vision of the Grail at the castle of the Fisher King.
Edition from the Bibliocollège collection with extensive annotated extracts, questionnaires and iconographic documents. Chrétien de Troyes composed the work around 1180 within his Arthurian romances.
Designed for secondary school students and for those learning French or approaching medieval literature, with a didactic apparatus.
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.
