Parsifal (or Sir Percival) was a Knight of King Arthur.

His story is told by the troubadours of France and Germany, notably Chr�tien de Troyes and Wolfram von Eschenbach.

The Parsifal story stands between the past age that looked for secrets of the spirit and the coming age that was going to search for the secrets of matter.In this warm and lively retelling of the legend of Parsifal, Charles Kovacs's critical commentary offers an unrivalled insight into teaching the story of Parsifal.

Based on Kovacs's extensive teachers' notes, this informative book places the Parsifal story in its greater social and historical context.This is a fascinating and engaging resource for teaching Steiner-Waldorf students in Class 11 (age 16-17) as a way of introducing world literature and one of the central problems of our time -- the imperative to learn to ask the right questions.
