Una de las historias mas apasionantes de cuantas configuran el legado medieval de Europa, en la que se nos narra la historia del joven Arturo, que, tras muchas aventuras, paso del infortunio mas desolador, a ocupar el trono de Bretana.
This is the lead book in howard Pyle's four volume redaction of the Arthurian cycle. It draws heavily on the Malory Version, but also contains material from the Prose lancelot, and the Gawaine set of stories. The prose is not the language of the 1890's and turn of that century, but the kind of Midieval-speak also found in conan Doyle's "The white company". That's a bit sad, but there is the art-work. Pyle was a magnificent illustrator, and draws wonderful horses and te most realistic looking castles to be found in young adult literature. These books set my Arthurian focus, and I am rereading them for the joy of it. The armour details are not good, and the ancestor of Marvel universe Spandex. So we have the sword in the stone, Gawaine and Ragnell, the quest for Excaliber, and the wooing of Gwenivere, and the chilling story of Sir Pelleas, and the Lady of the Lake, one of the most supernatural of the Arthuriana. Get a big format copy that grants the full power of the illustrations. This book has enchanted the world since 1903. ( )
Sou fã de literatura arturiana e gosto de Howard Pyle, mas não apreciei a tradução de português do Brasil. Fiquei com vontade de ler em inglês para perceber as diferenças. ( )

Thus died that wicked man, for as King Arthur drave past him, the evil soul of him quitted his body with a weak noise like to the squeaking of a bat, and the world was well rid of him.
