Pierre d'Espezel / Jean Chièze - Les Romans de la Table Ronde : Perceval le Gallois - 1960

Charming illustrated edition by the incredible Jean Chieze and numbered, of this faithful and lively adaptation of one of the foundational stories of the Arthurian cycle, centered on Perceval's initiatory quest, the naive knight who became a legendary hero.

The work tells the story of this young man raised in isolation, unaware of the chivalrous world, who gradually discovers knighthood, honor, and the court of King Arthur.

His encounter with the knights, his first adventures, and his initial clumsiness lead him to intense moral and spiritual growth, illustrating the transition from innocence to wisdom.

At the heart of this fascinating story lies the famous quest for the Grail, a symbol of perfection, purity, and spiritual elevation, which confronts Perceval with his weaknesses, hesitations, and capacity for discernment.

Through its adventures — heroic battles, encounters with mysterious characters, and confrontations with evil and temptation — unfolds a universe rich in symbols and moral lessons, where loyalty, faith, bravery, and perseverance are the cardinal values of chivalry.
