Synopsis "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, sir Orfeo"

Three masterpieces of medieval poetry, translated by the author of The Lord of the Rings--including Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the poem that inspired the major motion picture The Green Knight Comparable to the works of Chaucer, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, and Sir Orfeo weave a bright tapestry of stories from a remote age of chivalry and wizards, knights and holy quests--but unlike The Canterbury Tales, the name of the poet who wrote them is lost to time. Masterfully translated from the original Middle English by J.R.R. Tolkien, the language of these great poems comes to life for modern readers. At the center of this collection is Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a tale as lush and dark as England's medieval forests. Mixing romance and adventure, Sir Gawain follows King Arthur's most noble knight on an adventure of epic enchantment, temptation, and destiny.

"John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (Bloemfontein, hoy Sudáfrica; 3 de enero de 1892-Bournemouth, Dorset; 2 de septiembre de 1973), a menudo citado como J. R. R. Tolkien o JRRT, fue un escritor, poeta, filólogo, lingüista y profesor universitario británico, nacido en Sudáfrica. Conocido principalmente por ser el autor de las novelas clásicas de fantasía heroica El hobbit, El Silmarillion y El Señor de los Anillos.

De 1925 a 1945, Tolkien ocupó la cátedra Rawlinson y Bosworth en la Universidad de Oxford, enseñando anglosajón y, de 1945 a 1959, fue profesor de Lengua y Literatura inglesa en Merton. Era amigo cercano del también escritor C. S. Lewis y ambos eran miembros de un informal grupo de debate literario conocido como los Inklings. Tolkien fue nombrado Comendador de la Orden del Imperio Británico por la reina Isabel II el 28 de marzo de 1972.1​"
