Overview

La Breve Historia del rey Arturo analiza uno de los romances medievales màs importantes de la Europa occidental: el mito del rey Arturo, que unifica los reinos de Inglaterra y hace retroceder a los invasores sajones, persiguiÃ(c)ndolos hasta el continente. Arturo, junto a su mujer, Ginebra, ejerce su reinado en la magnÃ-fica ciudad de Camelot, donde reðne alrededor de una inmensa mesa redonda a formidables caballeros: Gauvain, Kay, Percival, Lancelot, Tristàn] Este libro transmite toda la fascinaciÃ3n que causa esta leyenda y, al mismo tiempo, desvela lo que pudo ser la realidad histÃ3rica: a finales del siglo VI las invasiones sajonas en Bretaña fueron frenadas y repelidas durante un tiempo gracias a la alianza de los beligerantes reyes celtas. El lÃ-der de esta alianza tuvo que ser un jefe militar experto en el arte de la guerra y un astuto estratega.
