Le Morte D'Arthur

This single-volume edition of the complete works of Sir Thomas Malory was first published in the Oxford Standard Authors series in 1971. The basis of the text is the unique fifteenth-century manuscript found in 1934 in the Fellows Library of Winchester College, which is not merely much closer than Caxton's text to what Malory actually wrote, but livelier too. Its fifteenth-century English presents few difficulties, and the reader's eye quickly becomes accustomed to the old spellings, which could not be modernized without destroying much of the essential period quality of this great early masterpiece of English literature. Included in this edition are an introduction, a glossary, and fifty pages of explanatory notes on each of Malory's romances. -- From publisher's description.

Works

Смерть Артура

John Steinbeck

The first book John Steinbeck read as a child was the Caxton "Morte d'Arthur," and he considered it one of the most challenging tasks of his career to modernize the stories of King Arthur. "These stories are alive even in those of us who have not read them. And, in our day, we are perhaps impatient with the words and the stately rhythms of Malory. I wanted to set the stories down in meaning as they were written, leaving out nothing and adding nothing." Also included are the letters John Steinbeck wrote to his literary agent, Elizabeth Otis, and to Chase Horton, the editor of this volume, about his work on "King Arthur,"

The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights

Una historia inmortal de amor, aventura, caballería, traición y muerte. Editado y publicado por primera vez por William Caxton en 1485, Le Morte D'Arthur es la versión única y espléndida de la leyenda artúrica de sir Thomas Malory. La traición de Mordred, las hazañas de caballeros de Tristán, las lealtades fatalmente divididas de Lancelot y su amor por Guenever, la búsqueda del Santo Grial; Todos los elementos están allí entretejidos en una maravillosa integridad por la magia de su estilo de prosa.El resultado no es solo una de las cuentas más legibles de los caballeros de la Mesa Redonda, sino también una de las más conmovedoras. A medida que la historia avanza hacia la inevitable tragedia de la muerte de Arthur, el efecto es acumulativo, aumentando con una inminente sensación de fatalidad y tragedia hacia su final devastador.
