Paralyzed by his first glimpse of the Grail, Perceval fails to save the ailing king. Distraught, the knight begins a new quest for the Grail, a journey on the road of penitence and faith. Perceval's venture, the true test of his knighthood, ends without conclusion; the death of author Chr tien de Troyes left unsaid and undetermined the success of Perceval's quest.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this verse translation of 'Perceval, ' Ruth Harwood Cline restores to life the lively Arthurian legend of the education of a knight in his search for the Holy Grail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHRÉTIEN DE TROYES (1135?-1191?) was a French poet and trouvère.
