    Assassin's Apprentice de Robin Hobb (LiddyGally)

    The Last Legion de Valerio Massimo Manfredi (Bookshop_Lady)
    Bookshop_Lady: Mary Stuart ties the Arthur legend to Rome through Ambrosius and his brother Uther. Valerio Massimo takes a slightly different turn to the story: The Last Legion is the story of the last Roman emperor, who fled to England searching for the last legion of Roman soldiers, hoping they would still be loyal to him. This last emperor, a youth of about 13 when he attains the throne, will grow up to become Uther Pendragon. Fan's of Mary Stuart's trilogy will appreciate Massimo's interpretation of the Arthur legend.… (mais)

    The Soul Thief de Cecelia Holland (themulhern)
    themulhern: Fairly realistic historical fiction, with magic added in. Cecilia Holland's is grittier and more original and told from several points of view and not as the memories of a now old man.

    The King Must Die de Mary Renault (bjappleg8)
    bjappleg8: so many common threads: the "bastard" son of a royal daughter whose father turns out to be a king; who is god-touched and destined for glory but ultimately tragic. Also, strange to say, both these re-tellings of ancient myths by women feel fairly misogynistic.… (mais)

One of my favorite novels. I return to it again and again.
It's the Legend of King Arthur told in the first person by main protagonist, Myrddin Emrys, better known as Merlin. Mary Stewart draws heavily from
Le Morte d'Arthur the seminal compilation of Welsh Arthurian legend by Sir Thomas Mallory. Stewart's Merlin is born royal, but a bastard. He's a brilliant, arcanely sensitive and isolated boy who grows to youth, and manhood amid the turmoil of 5th century England. This is a bellicose time of petty kingdoms with ever shifting alliances.

Merlin's famous magic, (portrayed believably as learned science, art, and innate mystic gift), drives him towards the creation of the one true unifying monarch, Arthur king of the Britons.

The Crystal Cave is very much Merlin's story, the second book,(The Hollow Hills)), and third (The Last Enchantment), books in the quintet, are still narrated by Merlin, cover the more familiar tales of Arthur's legend. I've read The Wicked Day, (The death of Arthur as told by Modred), and the last of the quintet, The Prince and the Pilgrim, (A side story regarding Morgan Le Fey's bad behaviors), but for me, the Merlin Trilogy are all.
Poet, and Master of English literature, Mary Stewart's research and engagingly lyric prose, long ago spoiled me for all other depictions of Merlin and King Arthur.


(Although Nigel Terry and Nicol Williamson are forgiven because Excalibur is just so darned pretty) ( )

I still love it. (And my preteen crush on Ambrosius is still strong!) ( )

Another classic I read as a high school student which I have long remembered.

Born the bastard son of a Welsh princess, Myrdden Emrys - or as he would later be known, Merlin - leads a perilous childhood, haunted by portents and visions. But destiny has great plans for this no-man's-son, taking him from prophesying before High King Vortigern to the crowning of Uther Pendragon, and the conception of Arthur, king for once and always.

A re-read for a book I originally read in the late 70s because our grandson was reading it as "summer reading" assignment from the St. Ignatius English department.

As always, the older you get the more you tend to get out of previously read book. A delight. ( )

Eerste deel van een trilogie over het leven van de legendarische tovenaar en helderziende Merlijn. Hij leefde in het Brittannië van de vijfde eeuw en was in zijn latere leven de opvoeder en raadgever van de grote koning Arthur. Dit eerste deel omvat het verhaal over zijn geboorte en eerste levensjaren, doorgebracht aan het hof van zijn grootvader, de koning van Zuid-Wales. Verder: de ontdekking van de glazen grot en zijn opleiding bij de ziener Galapas. Het boek eindigt met de geboorte van koning Arthur. Een boeiend verhaal over deze magiër; door haar levende verbeelding en vlotte schrijftrant weet de schrijfster de lezer van begin tot eind te boeien. Wordt vervolgd door: "De holle heuvels". Normale druk, volle bladspiegel.

O Merlin in your crystal cave
Deep in the diamond of the day,
Will there ever be a singer
Whose music will smooth away
The Furrow drawn by Adam's finger
Across the meadow and the wave?
Or a runner who'll outrun
Man's long shadow driving on,
Burst through the gates of history,
And hang the apple on the tree?
Will your sorcery ever show
The sleeping bride shut in her bower,
The day wreathed in its mound of snow,
And Time locked in his tower?
----Edwin Muir

PROLOGUE: The Prince of Darkness

I am an old man now, but then I was really past my prime when Arthur was crowned King.
BOOK I: The Dove

The day my uncle Camlach came home, I was just six years old.
BOOK II: The Falcon

The first I knew of our coming to shore was being roused, still heavy with that exhausted sleep, by voices talking over me.
BOOK III: The Wolf

I was five years with Ambrosius in Brittany.
BOOK IV: The Red Dragon

The way the chronicles tell it, you would think it took Ambrosius two months to get himself crowned King and pacify Britain.

"Mithras, Apollo, Arthur, Christ -- call him what you will," I said. "What does it matter what men call the light? It is the same light, and men must live by it or die. I only know that God is the source of all the light which has lit the world, and that his purpose runs through the world and past each one of us like a great river, and we cannot check or turn it, but can only drink from it while living, and commit our bodies to it when we die." -- Merlin
