First published in the Catalan language in Valencia in 1490, Tirant Lo Blanc (The White Tyrant) is a sweeping epic of chivalry and high adventure. With great precision and verve, Martorell narrates land and sea battles, duels, hunts, banquets, political machinations, and romantic conquests. Reviewing the first modern Spanish translation in 1969 (Franco had ruthlessly suppressed the Catalan language and literature), Mario Vargas Llosa hailed the epic's author as 'the first of that lineage of God supplanters, Fielding, Balzac, Dickens, Flaubert, Tolstoy, Joyce, Faulkner, who try to create in their novels an all-encompassing reality.'.

Here is a recovered Renaissance classic, a Catalan novel of chivalry translated into English for the first time by American poet and translator David H. Rosenthal (1945-92). Cervantes singles out 'Tirant lo Blanc' for very special praise in Don Quixote, in the scene in which the don's friends, eager to save his sanity, are making a bonfire of the romances of chivalry which have constituted his sole intellectual and spiritual nourishment, Cervantes refers to this work, putting into the mouth of a character the suggestion that the book deserves to remain in print throughout the ages. Joanot Martorell (c.1410-65), was a Valencian knight and the author of this novel, first published in Valencia in 1490. Sadly he suffered an early death due to court intrigue, leaving the novel unfinished. It was prepared for publication by his friend and colleague, Marti Joan de Galba (d. 1490).
