From the incredible wizadry of Merlin to the passion of Gwynevere and Sir Lancelot, these tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table offer epic adventures with the supernatural as well as timeless battles with our own humanity. In a time when there were damsels in distress to save and mythical dragons to slay, King Arthur and his knights were there to render justice in the face of any danger. Keith Baines splendid rendition of Le Morte dArthur faithfully preserves the original flavor of Malorys masterpiece--that of banners and bloodshed, knights and ladies, Christians and sorcerers, sentiment and savagery. It remains a vivid medieval tapestry woven about a central figure who symbolizes the birth of an age of chivalry. Includes an Introduction by Robert Graves and an Afterword by Christopher Cannon

Steinbeck's first posthumously published work, The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights is a reinterpretation of tales from Malory's Morte d'Arthur. In this highly successful attempt to render Malory into Modern English, Steinbeck recreated the rhythm and tone of the original Middle English.

A gripping retelling of the timeless epic of romance, enchantment and adventure, Peter Ackroyd's The Death of King Arthur recasts Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur in clear, compelling modern English prose, published in Penguin Classics. 'In the old wild days of the world there was a King of England known as Uther Pendragon; he was a dragon in wrath as well as in power...' Born with the help of Merlin's magic, blessed with the sword of Excalibur, Arthur becomes King of a troubled England, beginning a golden age of chivalry at the court of Camelot. But his reign is soon to be torn apart by violence, revenge and tragedy... Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur made the legend of King Arthur immortal. Now Peter Ackroyd's retelling brings his timeless story of love, heroism and betrayal to new life for our times. Sir Thomas Malory (c.1405-1471) was a knight and estate owner in the mid 15th century, who spent many years in prison for political crimes as well as robbery. He wrote Le Morte d'Arthur, the first great English prose epic, while imprisoned in Newgate. Peter Ackroyd (b. 1949) is an award-winning writer and historian. Formerly literary editor of The Spectator and chief book reviewer for the The Times, he is the author of novels such as Hawksmoor (1985) and The House of Doctor Dee (1993), as well as non-fiction including Dickens: Public Life and Private Passion (2002), London: The Biography (2000), and Thames: Sacred River (2007).

Pavel Ivanovic Cicikov, arrivista senza scrupoli, ma di inoffensiva apparenza, viaggia attraverso la Russia con la sua carrozza, il cocchiere Selifan e il servo Petruska per comprare a poco prezzo "anime morte", i nomi dei contadini morti o fuggiti ma ancora a carico dei proprietari. Il suo diabolico piano e di servirsene per ottenere le assegnazioni di terre concesse a chi dimostra di possedere un certo numero di servi della gleba. In realtа, le vere "anime morte" non sono i contadini di cui Cicikov va a caccia, ma i vivi che egli incontra, i proprietari terrieri, figure grottesche e patetiche che hanno ormai cancellato la loro umanitа, trasformandosi in una galleria di vizi sordidi e ripugnanti. Il romanzo и un vasto affresco della Russia rurale, una discesa agli inferi nella provincia vista come inesauribile campionario di grettezze. Tutto, in "Anime morte", e sotto il segno di questa degradante mediocritа e trivialitа, una meschinitа presuntuosa, animalescamente avida, vanagloriosa e soddisfatta, di cui lo stesso Cicikov и campione ed emblema.

La realite d’Edgar Poe se dedouble en se deformant. Le fantastique apparait alors. Le grotesque, c’est la difformite ridicule. Poe a seduit Baudelaire par ce pouvoir de multiplier les mondes. Les Histoires extraordinaires projetaient le lecteur dans un univers scientifique, les Nouvelles histoires extraordinaires le plongeaient dans l’inconscient. Dans ce troisieme volume, Poe poursuit la logique jusqu’a l’absurde. Le joueur d’echecs de Maelzel est-il un automate aussi perfectionne que nos jeux electroniques ou une supercherie ? Dans quelles conditions Marie Roget, la belle parfumeuse, est-elle morte ? La premiere femme aimee reapparait-elle a l’epoux qui se remarie ? L’imagination delirante de Poe nous demontre l’absurde avec la plus rigoureuse logique et un style lumineux.

«Je restai tres longtemps immobile pres du lit, la tasse a la main, regardant le visage qui se figeait et devenait gris. Lorsque grand-pere entra, je lui dis : "Elle est morte, ma mere." Il jeta un coup d'?il vers le lit : "Qu'est-ce que tu racontes ?"... Quelques jours apres l'enterrement, grand-pere me dit : "Eh bien, Alexis, tu n'es pas une medaille, tu ne peux pas rester toujours pendu a mon cou, va donc gagner ton pain..." Et je partis gagner mon pain.»
