Thomas Malory - Le Morte d'Arthur [King Arthur] (2 editions) (Size: 16.71 MB)
Description  LE MORTE D'ARTHUR ("The Death of Arthur") is a compilation by SIR THOMAS MALORY (d. 1471) of romance-era tales about the legendary King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, and the Knights of the Round Table. Malory drew upon existing French and English verse sources about these figures, and added original material (the Gareth story), to give an epic unity to the myth. First published in 1485, it remains today the best-known work of Arthurian literature in English. Recounting Arthur's birth, his ascendancy to the throne after claiming Excalibur, his ill-fated marriage to Guinevere, the treachery of Morgan le Fay, the exploits of Tristan and other Knights of the Round Table, and the quest for the Holy Grail, Malory's epic romance magically weaves together adventure, battle, love and enchantment, and is full of wistful, elegiac regret for a vanished age of chivalry. Both the Penguin Classics and Oxford World's Classics editions are included here in ePUB / MOBI format: * LE MORTE DARTHUR: The Winchester Manuscript (Oxford World's Classics, 1998).
