Parzival and the Stone from Heaven

0/5 ( ratings)

The story of Parzival has exercised a powerful fascination for writers, artists, and thinkers since it was written in the early thirteenth century. It has provided the inspiration and structure for works as diverse as Wagner's opera Parsifal, Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain, and George Lucas's Star Wars. Yet the density and complexity of this medieval poem make it almost impenetrable to a wide readership, even in translation. The time feels right for a retelling of the story. This lively, accessible, inspirational version by acclaimed author Lindsay Clarke will appeal both to adults and to older children. It stays faithful to the spirit of the original while highlighting the relevance of its themes to current issues of concern to readers engaged in their own quest for meaning.
