The White Knight: Tirant Lo Blanc by Joanot Martorell and Martí Joan de Galba
"The White Knight: Tirant Lo Blanc" by Joanot Martorell and Martí Joan de Galba is a chivalric romance published in 1490. This tale follows Tirant, a knight from Brittany, as he embarks on adventures across Europe before the Byzantine Emperor summons him to defend Constantinople against Ottoman invaders. Praised by Cervantes as a "treasure of enjoyment," the novel stands apart from typical romances with its earthy realism, sensuous characters, and satirical edge—perhaps
even rewriting history to reverse Byzantium's tragic fall. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
