Parzival and the Stone from Heaven by Lindsay Clarke
A wonderful retelling of the legendary story of Parzival, the knight who is given the task of finding the Holy Grail. In the same vein as Seamus Heaney's Beowulf but written as magically as The Alchemist.
Praise for 'Parzival': "As soon as I began to read I was entranced and enthralled! In Clarke's Parzival, action is compulsively cryptic and elliptical, as if the tale told itself! You will not want to reach the equivalent of page 180 but when you do, you will wander back and begin again." The Independent on Sunday "!an appealing retelling of one of the West's primary myths." The Times Literary Supplement "In adapting this story for a modern-day audience, Clarke has unearthed a gem." The Saturday Times Magazine "!a masterly, accessible and inspirational retelling of the legend." Publishing News 'Lindsay Clarke is surely right in seeing Parzival as having urgent relevance for our time .. exceptional' John Moat, poet
Acclaimed author Lindsay Clarke won the 1989 Whitbread Prize for Fiction with Chymical Wedding and is also well-known for Alice's Masque. He has an extensive knowledge of mythology and legend and runs workshops in the UK and abroad.
