«Perceval ou le Conte du Graal» is the Arthurian romance by Chrétien de Troyes, in paperback (348 pages, in French).
Perceval, a young man raised in the forest, discovers chivalry and the love of Blanchefleur. At the castle of the Fisher King he witnesses the Grail procession, but fails to ask the healing question; the story continues with the adventures of Gauvain. Chrétien de Troyes left this work unfinished, the first to mention the Grail.
Part of the Romances Arthuriennes series. Edited by Catherine Blons-Pierre and Michel Stanesco, with a translation by Charles Méla, including extracts from the continuations of Perceval.
Aimed at students of French literature; includes a teacher's dossier and an edition linked to BAC preparation.
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.
