If you have ever wondered about the origin of the Holy Grail legend, whether you are a medieval literary scholar or you have only heard of the legend in passing, this book will allow you to search through ancient myths, medieval stories and scholarly debates so that you may discover the true origin of the Holy Grail. What was the Holy Grail? What was the origin of this legend? What inspired many writers of the 12th Century AD to weave a similar tale all roughly around the same time? Many scholars have provided many different answers to these questions, and this book puts those answers to the test. But in spite of this popular conception of what the Grail is, both the original stories and their modern interpretations are inconsistent in their descriptions of this relic. To merely mention the words "Holy Grail" is to conjure in one's mind images of a chalice once used by Christ and then sought after by heroes of every succeeding age. For centuries the Holy Grail has remained one of the most enduring legends in Western Culture.

Emma has put together a list of all the Colleen Hoover books in order. The one thing that could save them might also be the very thing that pushes their marriage beyond the point of repair. I have watched every episode of “Friends” three times - in prime time, on VHS and on Netflix - but I’m not sure I would have recognized Perry if I’d seen him on the street. There was plenty of light in the house, but not a lot of warmth. Instead of the foosball table where Chandler, Joey, Monica, Phoebe, Rachel and Ross gathered, nudging each other through the first chapters of adulthood, Perry, 53, had a red felt pool table that looked untouched. In September, after arriving at his 6,300-square-foot rental house and being ushered through a driveway gate by his sober companion, I sat across from Perry, who perched on a white couch in a white living room, a world away from “Friends,” the NBC sitcom that aired for 10 seasons and catapulted all six of its stars into fame, fortune and infinite memes. When I pictured Matthew Perry, the actor frequently known as Chandler Bing, I saw him on the tangerine couch at Central Perk or seated on one of the twin recliners in the apartment he shared with Joey Tribbiani.
