{"product_id":"le-morte-darthur-9780375753220","title":"Le Morte d'Arthur","description":"The legends of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table have inspired some of the greatest works of literature--from Cervantes's \u003cb\u003eDon Quixote\u003c\/b\u003e to Tennyson's \u003cb\u003eIdylls of the King\u003c\/b\u003e. Although many versions exist, Malory's stands as the classic rendition. Malory wrote the book while in Newgate Prison during the last three years of his life; it was published some fourteen years later, in 1485, by William Caxton. The tales, steeped in the magic of Merlin, the powerful cords of the chivalric code, and the age-old dramas of love and death, resound across the centuries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe stories of King Arthur, Lancelot, Queen Guenever, and Tristram and Isolde seem astonishingly moving and modern. Malory's \u003cb\u003eLe Morte d'Arthur\u003c\/b\u003e endures and inspires because it embodies mankind's deepest yearnings for brotherhood and community, a love worth dying for, and valor, honor, and chivalry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth J.
