The earliest instances take two primary forms: the courtly and common branches, associated with the 12th-century poems of Thomas of Britain and Béroul, the latter believed to reflect a now-lost original version. Its different versions exist in many European texts in various languages from the Middle Ages. The story has had a lasting impact on Western culture. On the journey, Tristan and Iseult ingest a love potion, instigating a forbidden love affair between them. It depicts Tristan's mission to escort Iseult from Ireland to marry his uncle, King Mark of Cornwall. Based on a Celtic legend and possibly other sources, the tale is a tragedy about the illicit love between the Cornish knight Tristan and the Irish princess Iseult. Tristan and Iseult, also known as Tristan and Isolde and other names, is a medieval chivalric romance told in numerous variations since the 12th century. ![]() Tristan and Isolde by Herbert Draper (1901) ![]()

Personally, I feel this book is not just a collection of personal essays and anecdotes but can actually act as a daily instruction manual for its readers. It keeps things simple so readers are able to make sense of how things happen the way it does, connecting the pieces of puzzle that we perceived were unrelated before and how these are all related back to the Creator.
