Amadis of Gaul Book I
Amadis of Gaul is the most famous tale of chivalry from Spain.The novel, divided into four books, recounts the life of Amadis, the greatest knight in the world. It became the Renaissance's best-selling literary phenomena. It went through 19 reprintings, was translated into 7 languages, spawned 44 direct sequels, and fueled an entire genre. Jousts were revived with theatrical pageantry, and "knights" came in the guise of their favorite characters.This translation will carry you back in time to enjoy this transcendent, delightful adventure.Amadis of Gaul is one of the pillars of European fiction. It opens a window not only to a wondrous fictional world but to the real medieval world that produced it.
