Bernard Cornwell is one of the English writers of historical fiction and the thriller, which everyone probably already heard. His books shine triumphs on blogs, and the author is not resting on its laurels, but by another text.
Excalibur, is the third, the last of the volumes Arthurian trilogy about the legendary sword, which has properties that make everyone wanted to come into its possession and its owner-King Arthur. Based on the legend remembers Celtic times, with many books and films, but in recent years it was published Cornwell are the most popular and most read.
trilogy is narrated by Derfel, one of the warriors of King Arthur, deciding to write down his story. History of, say frankly in many places, differing from the well-known.
third volume is a volume of many changes. Lancelot's rebellion is suppressed, and Arthur has to decide on who will build their intentions-the pagan sorcerer Merlin, or still on the Christians. In addition, the Celtic ruler of the state attacking Saxons, Druids and the largest among the states that the Kingdom was abandoned by the gods.
Completion trilogy may very surprise readers familiar with the two previous volumes.
first thing I noticed while reading, language is a complete change compared to the earlier volumes. This follows from the fact that Part III has a different translator than the previous volumes, and hence-completely changing the style. Winter monarch and the enemy of God were kept in the tone of contemporary language, the Excalibur we have already received styling into the Middle Ages. Delicate, yet noticeable. In addition, the text is filled with zdrobnieniami, many do not fit the content and form.
In this book we find many descriptions of battles, victories, defeats. We will witness the death of many well-known from the first two volumes form. Battle scenes are dynamic, Cornwell does not duplicate patterns.
book reads the same breath, the author has an unusual gift for putting the reality of the era. For-fan legend of King Arthur and historical novels, this item will be as found. I suppose however, that others also will find in it something for everyone.
Cornwell is slowly becoming the name of the robiącym a name for himself. So let's find out what is the phenomenon.
recommend.
