Idylls of the King Livre audio (téléchargement gratuit)

Although Sir Thomas Mallory's "Le Morte d'Arthur" has been called the backbone of the Arthurian legend, Tennyson's "Idylls of the King" is the flesh and blood. Tennyson's epic poem consists of 12 loosely connected episodes of the knights at Camelot, Arthur himself appearing as an almost Christ-like figure among them. However, though Arthur's knights represent the highest and most virtuous ideals, they sometimes fail to live up to those ideals, and their tragic flaws eventually leads to disaster. But it is this very tension between the flawed knight struggling with his own weaknesses as he confronts evil that gives "Idylls of the King" its compelling qualities. Some of the most dramatic scenes in the poem concern the vicissitudes of love and the daunting ethical challenges such love poses for a knight: jealousy, betrayal, and adultery.
