Tirant lo Blanc is the m is important of the novels written in the Catalan language and, probably, the best of European literature of its time. Joanot Martorell's work transcends books of medieval chivalry, for its mentality, for its broad-mindedness, for its humour, because it does not describe miraculous feats in unreal scenarios and because the qualities of the hero are very human. The linguistic update of M Serra Aries invites today's readers to the pleasant reading of the first modern novel.
