King of the Celts by Jean Markale
In a masterful blend of history, geography, and literature, Jean Markale re-creates the true King Arthur, the real-life Celtic warrior-hero who organized the resistance to the Saxon onslaught in fifth-century England. Markale's unsurpassed knowledge of Celtic history has enabled him to reconstruct for us the actual world in which King Arthur lived--its heros, its values, and its vicissitudes--and to define the position that Arthur occupied within it. - Explains how the Arthurian ideals of knightly virtue and chivalry are at the heart of Western literature and thought - Shows how the Celtic heritage continues to exert a unique formative power on our personal and moral conceptsJean Markale has spent a lifetime studying Celtic civilizations as a poet, philosopher, historian, and storyteller. He has written almost 40 volumes about pre-Christian societies, including The Celts, Merlin, Ladies of the Celts, and King of the Celts. He resides in the French area of Brittany.
