Title
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight/Pearl/Sir Orfeo - Mass Market Paperbound
by J. R. R. Tolkien (Author)
Three masterpieces of medieval poetry, translated by the author of The Lord of the Rings--including Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the poem that inspired the major motion picture The Green Knight
Comparable to the works of Chaucer, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, and Sir Orfeo weave a bright tapestry of stories from a remote age of chivalry and wizards, knights and holy quests--but unlike The Canterbury Tales, the name of the poet who wrote them is lost to time. Masterfully translated from the original Middle English by J.R.R. Tolkien, the language of these great poems comes to life for modern readers. At the center of this collection is Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a tale as lush and dark as England's medieval forests. Mixing romance and adventure, Sir Gawain follows King Arthur's most noble knight on an adventure of epic enchantment, temptation, and destiny.Front Jacket
SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT, PEARL, and SIR ORFEO are masterpieces of a remote and exotic age--the age of chivalry and wizards, knights and holy quests. Yet it is only in the unique artistry and imagination of J.R.R. Tolken that the language, romance, and power of these great stories comes to life for modern readers, in this masterful and compelling new translation.
