Perceval

I recently finished reading Perceval.
Perceval by Chretien de Troyes, written in 12th century France, contains the inspiration for TS Eliot's The Wasteland, Prufrock and Other Poems by T.S. Eliot .
I recommend this book to anyone who loves medieval history, poetry, King Arthur and fantasy. Full of colorful imagery and metaphor too sophisticated for the time in which it is written, this book is enjoyable on many different levels.
I read the Wasteland in conjunction with the desolation of the land of the Fisher King, savoring the beauty of both of the side by side.
