Why does Parzival disappear from his own story for such a long time? How is the experience of transcendence portrayed in Wolfram's epic poem? What is the role of other characters and their histories in telling the story of Parzival's ' âventiure'? The study analyzes the narrative techniques of time that shape the construction of the hero's identity and explores the ' âventiure' as a symbolic, generalized medium of communication.
