Parzival

Parzival – The Quest for the Holy Grail

Parzival is one of the great classic stories of the last millennium, a colourful tale from the time of knighthood, full of romance, love and adventure.

David Newbatt's illustrations in this book bring a refreshingly vivid and direct interpretation of the Quest for the Holy Grail. The accompanying text, based upon the story by Wolfram von Eschenbach, gives a brief introduction to some of the many characters and events portrayed in this epic tale, in a clear and concise way.

Parzival is a great story for reading by the fireside. It is also a deep and intense piece of literature in which is portrayed an individual's archetypal biography, which can speak to us today in our own search for the modern Grail Temple.

Recommended for all ages from 15 years and up.

The story is written as a series of 16 adventures, and David has illustrated each adventure with 7 images. The detailed images shown here are from the first of each group of 7 illustrations.
