Perceval the Altruistic is a fresh, alternately humorous and heartwrenching retelling of the Old Testament story of Job set in the Middle Ages.
Celebrated comedian and Amazon.com bestselling author Robert G. Lee and WordCrafts Press are thrilled to announce his new novel, Perceval the Altruistic: and His Amazing Discovery of the Long-lost Secret to Happiness, which released to retail in November 2024 in hardback, trade paperback, and all major ebook formats. Set in the Middle Ages in the mythical Kingdom of Goodania, Lee’s alternately humorous and heartwrenching tale follows the trials and tribulations of Perceval, a humble man who had it all, lost it all, and against all odds got it all back again.
Picture the classic story of Job, reimagined as a Princess Bride fractured fairy tale, co-written by C.S. Lewis and Monty Python, and you’ll have a picture of the warm, witty and wonderfully romantic adventure that awaits you in Perceval the Altruistic. The tale begins with a tragically unimaginable loss, then follows Perceval as he struggles through his own pilgrim’s progress of grief until he fights his way to a confrontation with the King. Will his bravery be rewarded with an answer to his soul-searching plea, or a demand he forfeit his very life?
