Viac o knihe

Librarian's note: There is an Alternate Cover Edition for this edition of this book here. Parzival, an Arthurian romance completed by Wolfram von Eschenbach in the first years of the 13th century, is one of the foremost works of German literature & a classic that can stand with the great masterpieces of the world. The most important aspects of human existence, worldly & spiritual, are presented in strikingly modern terms against the panorama of battles & tournaments & Parzival's long search for the Grail. The world of knighthood, of love & loyalty & human endeavor despite the cruelty & suffering of life, is constantly mingling with the world of the Grail, affirming the inherent unity between our temporal condition & the quest for something beyond human existence.
