I have not read the entire book, but I know I trusted it years ago and a stroll through it's pages indicates it is of high quality. Full of adventure, magic, and romance, these are the timeless tales of Arthur, the great warrior king of Britain; his loyal knight Lancelot; the beautiful Queen Guinevere; and the mysterious Merlin. Based on French Arthurian romances reaching back to the twelfth century, Sir James Knowles’s narrative tells of the goings-on at Camelot, epic battles against invading Saxon enemies, and Arthur’s quest for the Holy Grail, among many other exciting events. I got this out of the library so I could compare it with The Boy's King Arthur. Although the language is very outdated, and some of the Latin and French are just down-right funny, this was much easier to read than the other, though both are taken from Lanier's edit, which is really a translation. La Cote Mal Taile is the story missing from TBKA, and I wonder why. There is a shrewish maiden who continually berates the knight in the tale. The knight is called La Cote Mal Taile because he is wearing his father's coat, and it is in very bad condition. See what I mean about the weird translation? sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: This classic fifteenth-century chronicle of King Arthur and his knights is the essential interpretation of Arthurian legend in the English language. Full of adventure, magic, and romance, these are the timeless tales of Arthur, the great warrior king of Britain; his loyal knight Lancelot; the beautiful Queen Guinevere; and the mysterious Merlin. Based on French Arthurian romances reaching back to the twelfth century, Sir James Knowles's narrative tells of the goings-on at Camelot, epic battles against invading Saxon enemies, and Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail, among many other exciting events. Sometimes published as Le Morte d'Arthur, these accounts of chivalry and daring escapades have inspired generations of storytellers, from the Romantic poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson to T. H. White, author of The Once and Future King, from American satirist Mark Twain to British comedy troupe Monty Python.No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
