This volume collects three medieval English poems—Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, and Sir Orfeo—meticulously translated by J. R. R. Tolkien (with commentary by Christopher Tolkien) into modern English and now presented in Ukrainian. The book (336 pages) offers Ukrainian readers a chance to experience the power of alliterative verse, chivalric symbolism, elegy, and myth. Sir Gawain is a knight’s confrontation with a supernatural challenger, Pearl an allegory of grief and spiritual vision, and Sir Orfeo a retelling of the Orpheus myth in a medieval idiom. This edition is enhanced by critical notes and historical context.
