Description

The Holy Grail and its quest is a legend that has had a powerful impact on our civilization and culture. The Grail itself is an ancient Celtic symbol of plenty as well as a Christian symbol of redemption and eternal life, the chalice that caught the blood of Christ. The story of the Grail sheds light on man's search for the supreme value of life, for what makes life most meaningful. Written in easy-to-understand language, this text of the Jungian school of psychology presents this legend as a living myth that is of great relevance to modern life. In the story the reader encounters such universal figures as the fool (the naive young Perceval), the wise old man (the hermit Gornemanz), the virgin maiden (Blancheflor), and the loathly damsel, and such important themes as the Waste Land, the Trinity and the vessel of the Grail. Weaving together narrative and interpretation, the authors show how the legend reflects not only fundamental human problems, but also the dramatic psychic events that form the background of our Christian culture.
