About this listen

Wolfram von Eschenbach, a knight and a poet from 13th century Germany, is the author of this Arthurian romance. Parzival is the revival and completion of a narrative left incomplete by its initiator Chrétien de Troyes. It follows Parzival from his boyhood and career as a knight at the court of King Arthur to his ultimate achievement as King of the Temple of the Grail. This is both a tale of chivalry, and an epic quest for spiritual insight, as the hero Parzival must overcome his pride, and learn to be humble before he can finally win the Holy Grail. It is a lively, colorful insight into 13th century European culture. Wolfram’s distinctive style, with its intricate rhetorical flourishes, application of dialectical speech and open-ended syntax, all contribute to making Parzival such a challenging but rewarding read.
