El gran libro del Rey Arturo y los caballeros de la mesa redonda

release date: Nov 13, 2024
El gran libro del Rey Arturo y los caballeros de la mesa redonda
Edición coleccionista de una de las leyendas más influyentes. La primera autoridad del mundo en materia artúrica reimagina la historia del rey Arturo y sus caballeros, una de las leyendas más queridas e influyentes, para un nuevo siglo en esta bella edición para coleccionistas, acompañada de magníficas ilustraciones a todo color y dibujos de la mano de John Howe, el mundialmente aclamado artista de Tolkien. Las historias del rey Arturo y Merlín, Lancelot y Ginebra, Galahad, Gawain, Tristán y el resto de los caballeros de la Mesa Redonda, así como de la búsqueda del Santo Grial, no han dejado de apreciarse a lo largo de los siglos y son la inspiración de muchas novelas de fantasía modernas, películas y series. Estas leyendas comenzaron cuando un misterioso héroe celta llamado Arturo entró en el escenario de la historia en algún momento del siglo VI, lo que generó una gran cantidad de relatos orales que unos 900 años más tarde Thomas Malory recogería en su obra clásica Le Morte d''Arthur (La muerte de Arturo). El gran libro del rey Arturo nos trae esas leyendas a la época moderna, recurriendo por primera vez a una prosa accesible para lectores contemporáneos. Además de las historias incluidas en La muerte de Arturo, John Matthews incluye numerosos relatos de Arturo y sus caballeros que o bien Malory desconocía o bien estaban escritos en otros idiomas, como la historia de Avenable, la muchacha que se hizo pasar por hombre y se convirtió en un caballero famoso; Morien, cuyas aventuras son tan fantásticas y emocionantes como cualquiera de las que encontramos en la obra de Malory; y una versión de la vida de Gawain, el caballero favorito de la Mesa Redonda, desde su extraño nacimiento e infancia en la pobreza hasta su ascensión al cargo más importante de todos: emperador de Roma. Además, aquí encontramos también algunos de los relatos más tempranos sobre Arturo, derivados de la tradición céltica. El héroe épico aparece representado en historias tan poderosas como «Las aventuras del Niño Águila» y «La llegada de Merlín», basada en el texto medieval temprano La vida de Merlín, en la que se nos cuenta una versión totalmente nueva de la historia del gran hechicero. «Casi seiscientos años después de Malory, parece que estos relatos existan aún en un presente glorioso, como si pudiéramos ir a pie a la corte del rey Arturo y encontrarnos en Camelot.» Neil Gaiman

Tolkien en 3 minutes

Tolkien en 3 minutes
Brillant philologue et grand érudit, J. R. R. Tolkien puisa dans sa vaste connaissance des langues médiévales et des légendes européennes pour façonner un univers mythique qui en fit l’un des écrivains les plus populaires du XXe siècle. Il conçut dans ses moindres détails le monde de la Terre du Milieu, toile de fond de ses épopées fantastiques et allégoriques: Le Seigneur des anneaux et Bilbo le Hobbit, vendues depuis leur publication en 1954 à plus de 100 millions d’exemplaires. Tolkien en 3 minutes vous éclairera en un rien de temps sur la vie, l’œuvre et l’influence de cet auteur extraordinaire. Chaque double page, abondamment illustrée, présente un point de son histoire personnelle, de son œuvre romanesque ou de son apport littéraire en trois courts paragraphes très clairs, à lire en 3 minutes. Chacun des trois chapitres renferme ainsi une mine d’informations fascinantes sur le père de la Communauté de l’Anneau: les liens entre sa vie et son imaginaire; les grandes lignes de son œuvre merveilleuse; l’inspiration qu’elle représente encore aujourd’hui pour nombre d’auteurs, de cinéastes ou de simples admirateurs.
