Lancelot - Giles Kristian

Descriere Lancelot - Giles Kristian

________________ \n \n Conn Iggulden has called it 'a masterpiece' while The Times has hailed it 'a gorgeous, rich retelling of the Arthurian tale' . . . \n ________________ \n \n Rome is burning. \n \n In Britain, Uther Pendragon is dying. \n \n Enemies stalk his land. \n \n Into this uncertain world a boy is cast - an outsider, plagued by memories of those he's lost. \n \n Under the watchful eye of Merlin, the boy begins his journey to manhood. He meets another outcast, Guinevere - wild, proud and beautiful. And he is dazzled by Arthur - a warrior who carries the hopes of the people like a flaming torch in the dark. \n \n But these are treacherous times, and the fate of Britain rests on a sword's edge. This young man becomes a lord of war: loved, hated, admired and feared. He is a man forsaken but not forgotten. \n \n He is Lancelot. \n ________________ \n \n Set in a 5th century Britain besieged by invading bands of Saxons and Franks, Irish and Picts, Giles Kristian's epic new novel tells - in Lancelot's own words - the story of the most revered yet reviled of all Arthur's knights, the warrior who fought at his lord's side - yet stole his wife. This is the story of one of the great figures of British myth and legend - a story ready to be re-imagined for our times. \n
