Beric Norman

Mordred's Version (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Arthurian Legend is Britain's version of Greek Tragedy. Incest, adultery, murder and intrigue abound, and most of the famous heroes are flawed.

The collapse of the Round Table is usually blamed on King Arthur's wayward Queen Guinevere and her illicit love for the king's best friend, Sir Lancelot. But in this enthralling new telling of the story Beric Norman shows that Camelot was doomed from the outset: The victorious young Arthur was seduced by his enemy's wife, not knowing that she was also his sister! Trying to avert the terrible consequence predicted by Merlin, he was led to the brink of a dreadful crime.

Mordred, the son of that incestuous affair, is traditionally regarded as the villain of the piece. 'Mordred's Version' puts the record straight.

Drawing on Malory, Geoffrey of Monmouth, Chrétien de Troyes, numerous modern sources and the author's lively imagination, this is a racy, refreshing and revealing re-interpretation of a great fable.
