About this book
Creators: Joanot Martorell (d. 1468), Martí Joan de Galba (d. 1490), and Robert S. Rudder [Translator] "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.
