Parsifal and the Search for the Grail (Waldorf Education Resources)
Language: English
Author: Charles Kovacs
Publisher: Floris Books
Parsifal's story is that of the first modern man searching
for a meaning which satisfies his intellect.
Parsifal (or Sir Percival) was a Knight of King Arthur.
His story is told by the troubadours of France and
Germany, notably Chrétien 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 the Steiner-Waldorf Education curriculum this story
is recommended for 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.
