Inhaltsangabe

Chrtien de Troyes did not invent the Arthurian legend: he gave it a sophisticated form, establishing it as a major branch of European literature. This lively edition of Chretien's romances includes "Perceval," the first Grail story, as well as his lays "Erec and Enide," "Cligs," Lancelot," and "Yvain." In these delicate, passionate works, French chivalry bounds through the centuries to greet modern readers with new words for devotion.[...]

Reseña del editor

Stella Cataloni, District Attorney, has never lost a case. She has convicted every criminal who crossed her doorstep - except the one who stole her family and marked her for life. Stella's parents died in afire when she was seventeen. She managed to rescue her brother but sustained appalling scars. Stella remembers little about that night of the fire and has no idea who caused it, but now she knows she must confront it. Her privatelife's a mess; she's divorcing her husband and falling in love with her divorce attorney; the least she can do is unravel her haunting past. But in doing so she puts her reputation at stake and her life in jeapardy.

Contraportada

An idyllically happy marriage in which a husband is so involved that he neglects his duties as a knight; love endangered by husband who is more interested in athletic chivalry than his wife; timorous young love; and adulterous passion--together these stories offer the most complete expression we possess from a single author of the ideals of French chivalry and of courtly love.
