The Grail, Jean Markale

No other theme has haunted the human imagination as much as the Grail. No sacred object has been as sought after and feared at the same time. The Grail is, in fact, the archetype of the wondrous object in which each person can enclose the goal of their own quest: for some, it represents divine grace, the philosopher's stone; for others, it is a treasure or, more prosaically, an episode from the legend of King Arthur.
It is in pursuit of this Grail, both close and inaccessible, that Jean Markale, a great specialist in the Celtic world, invites us. Exploring the different versions of the myth that appeared during the Western Middle Ages, he deciphers the signs that these texts carry to allow us to penetrate their true meaning.
A great book, animated by the spirit of the Celtic soul, where the author helps us discover one of the privileged moments of mythical thought.
