#SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT TOLKIEN EBOOK FULL#
Sir Gawain is a romance, a fairy-tale for adults, full of life and colour but it is also much more than this, being at the same time a powerful moral tale which examines religious and social values. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl are two poems by an unknown author written in about 1400. A collection of three medieval English poems, translated by Tolkien for the modern-day reader and containing romance, tragedy, love, sex and honour. Accompanying Sir Gawain and the Green Knight in this book are Sir Orfeo, a medieval version of the story of Orpheus and Euridice, a love so strong that it overcame death, and Pearl, the moving tale of a man in a graveyard mourning his baby daughter, lost like a pearl that slipped through his fingers.
