{"product_id":"le-morte-darthur","title":"Le Morte D'Arthur","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e For over 1,000 years, tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table have enthralled people, among them Henry VIII and T.E. Lawrence. Proof of the Arthurian legend's timeless appeal is the fact that scarcely a year goes by without a new adaptation. Published in 1485, Sir Thomas Malory's epic poem \u003ci\u003eLe Morte d'Arthur\u003c\/i\u003e became the standard source for future Arthurian works such as \u003ci\u003eIdylls of the King\u003c\/i\u003e by Lord Tennyson and T.H. White's \u003ci\u003eThe Once and Future King\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its expressive, vigorous dialogue, \u003ci\u003eLe Morte d'Arthur\u003c\/i\u003e resounds with colloquial liveliness and ceremonious dignity, the style for a 15th-century gentleman. This audio recording grips the listener with the fascinating, fateful story of Arthur's ascension to the throne as a boy, his marriage to Guenevere, the formation of the Round Table Knights, the quest for the Holy Grail, the ill-fated passion between Lancelot and Guenevere, the treachery of Arthur's illegitimate son Mordred, and the ultimate destruction of Arthur's realm. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA superb story of adventure, love, honor, and betrayal, \u003ci\u003eLe Morte d'Arthur\u003c\/i\u003e is filled with dramatic power and deep, tragic irony.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Workman Publishing","offers":[{"title":"9781565119383","offer_id":40952872206513,"sku":"9781565119383","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/workman-feed-prod.myshopify.com\/products\/le-morte-darthur","provider":"zzz_Workman Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
