About this product

Product Information

In a masterful blend of history, geography, and literature, Jean Markale re-creates the true King Arthur, the real-life Celtic warrior-hero who organized the resistance to the Saxon onslaught in fifth-century England. Markale's unsurpassed knowledge of Celtic history has enabled him to reconstruct for us the actual world in which King Arthur lived--its heros, its values, and its vicissitudes--and to define the position that Arthur occupied within it. * Explains how the Arthurian ideals of knightly virtue and chivalry are at the heart of Western literature and thought * Shows how the Celtic heritage continues to exert a unique formative power on our personal and moral concepts

legend & more, interesting,worth the read. Diff spin
It is yet another spin on arthurian legend. Very interesting, and gives creedance to the fact that Arthur and the legend did happen. I bought if for my husband who is deeply into Arthurian legend. All legend, all folklore comes from some fact. Each book that comes out gives us some different insight. This is another. If you are into it, then read this. Get as much information as you can and then draw your own conclusion. Did Arthur exhist? Was there a Camelot? Who was Merlin? We keep the legends alive by reading the folklore! Camelot, in my opinion exhisted. Arthur was not a king, but a man given a task to lead a nation. Excaliber. Yes, I believe there is a sword and was, just like the strength of Stone Henge. Believe, don't believe, but read the book! Worth the read if you are into learning more about this man and his reign/or life.Read full review
