The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights

Производитель: "Penguin Books Ltd."

Steinbeck`s brilliant rendition of stories heroic, romantic and tragic from Malory`s Morfe D`Arthurchronicles the life of Arthur from his mysterious birth through battles and adventures to his establishment as king. In characteristic Steinbeck style, the tales - including the fateful marriage to Guinevere and the creation of the fellowship of the knights of the Round Table - emphasize the human gualities of legendary characters. Steinbeck transposed, contextualized and added to the stories, so that they are as alive for us today as they were to Malory`s readers some five hundred years ago. The Acts of King Arthur was published posthumously in 1976. An appendix of letters written by Steinbeck gives a fascinating insight into how he approached Malory`s original work.
