Sommario/riassunto

In the long history of European prose fiction, few works have been more influential and more popular than the romance of chivalry  Amadis of Gaul. Although its original author is unknown, it was probably written during the early fourteenth century. The first great bestseller of the age of printing,  Amadis of Gaul was translated into dozens of languages and spawned sequels and imitators over the centuries.
