Peronnik

Peronnik's story, of northwestern French tradition, clearly recalls the myth of Parsival and the classic legend of the Grail. Outwardly poor and simple, Peronnik is sharp of wit and pure of heart. His inner qualities enable him to pass the seven trials of courage at which all the brave knights have hitherto failed. They are tests of spiritual strength. Peronnik, like the legend of the Grail, shows the progress from innocence to true humanity and reflects the universal human aspiration to truth and the secrets of life arid death.
