King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
'King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table' Summary
The story begins with the birth of King Arthur, conceived through magic and raised in secret. He claims the throne by pulling the magical sword from the stone, Excalibur, and establishes his court at Camelot. Arthur gathers noble knights, including Lancelot, Galahad, Gawain, and Tristan, and they vow to uphold the ideals of chivalry, justice, and righteousness. Their adventures involve quests for the Holy Grail, battles against evil forces, and the pursuit of courtly love. However, the story is also marked by tragedy, betrayal, and the ultimate downfall of Camelot. Lancelot's forbidden love for Queen Guinevere, Mordred's treachery, and Arthur's tragic death all contribute to the destruction of the kingdom. Ultimately, *Le Morte d'Arthur* offers a poignant reflection on the fragility of honor, the destructive nature of passion, and the bittersweet beauty of legend.Book Details
