The White Knight: Tirant Lo Blanc
"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.
