>boring like Le Morte d'Arthur
Stick to Fate/Stay Night you big faggot

>>25054264
you can't lie that it's boring. malory writes like a sterile historian who narrates facts

>>25054235
Why does Malory make frogs seethe so much, bros?

>>25054235
The most interesting? Arthur and Gorlagon, this one is a werewolf story. Another cool one is the Roman de Fergus, this one is basically a proto-Don Quixote.

>>25054280
he's shit, that's why

>>25054341
Also forgot about Mélion for another Arthurian werewolf story

Howard Pyle's books are really good and you can get the pdf for free on archive

I genuinely enjoy the character of Lancelot even though I'm not a frog

>>25054273
That's what he was.

Has anyone here read pic related? It's unfinished but an Arthurian retelling by Steinbeck sounds interesting.

>>25058849
It's pretty good pastiche, some of it wont make much sense if you've never read Thomas Malory. However, the prose is nowhere near as good as T.H. White.

>>25058849
Yeah, it's actually very enjoyable. He seems to have tried to be as faithful to Malory as possible while telling the stories in a modern way and avoiding the odd inconsistencies.

>>25058849
>John Steinbeck
>Christopher Paolini
Books like this ought not exist.

>>25057895
The romance of Silence is pretty cool I really liked the part where Nature and nurture have their debate.

The Romance of the Rose is also a very good read but its not really a book you just pick up and read.

Do you guys have any recommendations from the list?

First in a trilogy: The Crystal Cave, The Hollow Hills, The Last Enchantment.

Told from Merlin's perspective, starting from his youth, so you have to wait a while to get any Arthur. TCC ends with Arthur's birth. THH ends with him being crowned king.


She wrote a couple more, but supposedly they're not as good. One is a biography of Mordred suggesting he wasn't entirely evil.

>>25054235

This shit is a hard read.

>>25054280
They hate knowing that French literature was invented in England and that the only bit anyone cares about is about a British king and his court.

>>25054590

Cuck shit is a mental illness.

>>25054235
Wagner's operas.

>>25055155
Don't forget Lohengrin!

Is the leatherbound version the complete one or just Book 1?

Avalon le fae

>>25054235
Try Merlin and the Grail for a medieval rendering of the story. Of the modern ones I've only read once and future king but I thought it was bad. Mallory wastes too much time on repetition because he wanted to include everything, TH White wastes too much time trying to shoehorn his opinions into the cycle.

>>25054235
Someone else mentioned this but read Parzival by Wolfram von Eschenbach. Easily the best and most developed telling of the grail quest. Even when it goes off on a huge tangent following Gawain around, it's worlds better than Le Morte d'Arthur. The characters aren't cardboard cutout shit, the plots are coherent, the descriptions are fuller. Ignore Malory unless you really love the Arthur cycles.

>>25054235
TH White is a blast

You should read Trubert, it's hilarious

The Arthurian tales in the Welsh Mabinogion are some of the earliest and they’re very primitive and spooky. Modern audiences have this vision of plate armor and Norman castles and these stories get back to the dark ages roots of whoever Authur may have been.

Historia Regum Britanniae. He also shows up in the Mabinogion (Culhwch and Olwen).

>>25054597
Malory was an unhappy old knight who drew on heroic legends of an earlier day; he’s boring in the same way people find the Iliad boring - through being misunderstood.

>>25062419
>old
Arguably old. Malory of Newbold Revel would have been old af by 15th century standards, but the other candidates would have been like 45.

Do people in this thread really not understand that Mallory was translating the Lancelot-Graal and then just adding in other Arthurian sources and tales not contained in that work???

>>25062326
The Mabinogion is so cool. Arthur and his knights seem more like barbarians getting shitfaced in the mud than noble knights.

>>25062326
it seems pretty cool, thank you gentleman

>Parzival by Wolfram von Eschenbach

The best thing about this is the translation by Jessie Weston. She's not afraid to nail her colours to the mast right from the get-go:—


TO THE MEMORY OF
RICHARD WAGNER
WHOSE GENIUS HAS GIVEN FRESH LIFE
TO THE CREATIONS OF MEDIÆVAL ROMANCE
THIS TRANSLATION IS DEDICATED


How many translators these days dedicate their works to Richard Wagner?

NONE, that's how many.

And that's why the world is in the parlous state it is.

>>25064898
Just stop whining and enjoy life, anon.

Cornwell's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Warlord_Chronicles is pretty cool.

>>25065479
