The complete "box set" of T. H. White's epic fantasy novel of the Arthurian legend. The novel is made up of five parts: "The Sword in the Stone", "The Witch in the Wood", "The Ill-Made Knight", "The Candle in the Wind", and "The Book of Merlyn".

Merlyn instructs the Wart (Arthur) and his brother, Sir Kay, in the ways of the world. One of them will need it: the king has died, leaving no heir, and a rightful one must be found by pulling a sword from an anvil resting on a stone. In the second and third parts of the novel, Arthur has become king and the kingdom is threatened from the north. In the final two books, the ageing king faces his greatest challenge, when his own son threatens to overthrow him. In "The Book of Merlyn", Arthur's tutor Merlyn reappears and teaches him that, even in the face of apparent ruin, there is hope.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Opinie krytyków

AudioFile Earphones Award, 2009

"For those who have never read these five books, prepare to be surprised by their adultness, their laugh-out-loud humor and tongue-in-cheek commentary on modern life; for those who know them well, prepare to be delighted with Neville Jason's transcendent reading. The lovely timbre of his narrative voice, his rhythmic, easy pacing and host of individual characterizations transport listeners into White's weird and wonderful otherworld as quickly as Alice slipped through the looking glass. This long production is so entrancing that one wishes it would never end." (AudioFile)

Kann man mal gehört haben, wenn einem die Legenden um König Artur interessieren. zwischendurch jedoch sehr langatmig und zumindest ich konnte mich mit den Personen nur schwer identifizieren und ihre Beweggründe nachvollziehen

zwischendurch etwas zäh

I read it first when I was a Teenager. Back then I was a little disappointed, Now, many years later I really could appreciate this great book. Very well read.

Fantastic!

A gem, this slowly told retelling of Mallory' s Arthur, with philosophical thoughts elaborated, the author's modern commentatory woven into it, aspects explained with 19th/20th century ideas, ironic and funny descriptions, sometimes to the point of the later Monty Python, but always in the service of this heartwarming and increasingly tragic tale of Arthur. I was very greatful for the fifth book, where Merlin reappears and Arthur's education from book one ist continued. Book four was so inevitably tragic, it made me so sad! The fifth book balanced it with it' s humor, wonder, lessons and wisdom in the form of thoughts about the position of Man and war in comparison with the other 250.000 species of animal. Chapeau also for the Shakespearean reading (with many accents and much nuance) of this beautiful prose.
