Le Morte Darthur. Sir Thomas Malory's Book of King Arthur and his Noble. Knights of the Round Table


Book Description

Sir Thomas Malory's 'Le Morte Darthur' is a seminal work of English literature that recounts the tales of King Arthur and his illustrious Knights of the Round Table in rich detail. Written in the 15th century, the book presents a captivating blend of chivalry, romance, and heroic exploits that exemplify the courtly ideals of the time. Malory's narrative style is both elegant and emotive, drawing readers into a world of honor, betrayal, and the quest for the Holy Grail. His work serves as a cornerstone of Arthurian legend and has inspired countless adaptations and retellings over the centuries. Thomas Sir Malory, the author of 'Le Morte Darthur,' was a knight with a troubled past who found solace in recounting the legendary adventures of King Arthur. His firsthand experience with the code of chivalry informs the authenticity and depth of the characters in the book, adding a layer of realism to the fantastical tales. I highly recommend 'Le Morte Darthur' to readers who appreciate classic literature, medieval romances, and tales of heroism. This timeless work continues to enthrall audiences with its timeless themes and enduring characters.

Le Morte Darthur - King Arthur - Color Illustrated Edition


Book Description

Considered by professors and scholars to be the definite work on King Arthur. Kirkus Reviews “Here is an important segment of our English heritage in unexpurgated form. A must for all libraries.” Two beautifully bound volumes with magnificent color illustrations.” Saturday Review “Pollard used modernized spelling and, unlike some other version of the stories that also do this, Pollard’s is unexpurgated. This new edition is perfect for the modern reader.” San Francisco Chronicle “This is much more than a source book…by its own merits it is first of all a collection of great stories—brutal, physical and hard-hitting. A.W. Pollard put them into modern spelling and they are happily presented here.”
