This amazing novel was created more than 800 years ago, and it is no less amazing that it has not been translated into Russian until now. We have filled this gap for the first time. The cycle of prose novels, created in France, laid the foundation not only for the genre of chivalric adventurous, novels, but also for the entire Western prose literature. This book continues the publication of the cycle, which we began in 2022. The translation is made on the edition of the famous medievist of the XIX century. P. Paris, the keeper of the department of manuscripts of the French National Library, who translated into his modern language works created on the basis of Breton tales of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table and the Holy Grail. "Lancelot of the Lake" chronologically and narratively continues the first novels and brings to the stage a new generation of heroes. This is not just a chivalric novel of battles, adventures and the search for the Grail, but a whole universe of characters and events. The vividness and skill in describing them is amazing for the thirteenth century. Heroes intrigue and go mad, flirt and mock, betray and sacrifice themselves, tormented by passions and doubts. The figure of Lancelot is dynamic, contradictory and sometimes reminiscent of the characters of the Romantic era. And here fairies, giants and many wonders coexist perfectly, adding colors to this half-forgotten universe into which we invite the reader.
