The legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is a superb story of adventure, love, honor, and betrayal. Originally published in 1485, Le Morte d'Arthur is filled with dramatic power and deep, tragic irony. This audio adaptation of Malory's epic poem grips the listener with the fateful story of Arthur's ascension to the throne as a boy, his marriage to Guenever, the formation of the Knights of the Round Table, the quest for the Holy Grail, the ill-fated passion between Guenever and Launcelot, the treachery of Arthur's illegitimate son Mordred, and the ultimate destruction of Arthur's realm.(P) and ©1997 HighBridge Company; Cover Illustration Reproduced by Permission of The Granger Collection, New York.

I enjoyed the tale but I was surprised with how much focused on Lancelot. I expected it to focus on Arthur more than it did.

Good but Surprising

Forever a fan of King Artuhur, and of Derrick Jacoby, i was still a little anxious about the early English. Pleasantly surprised to find that some high school French, as well as Jacoby's superb reading, rendered any language barrier null and void. A collection of adventure and mystical stories, with a bit of history... glorious escape reading! thanks so much for offering it. Having whet my apppetitie, i may have to buy the unabridged in text, for occasional perusal.

Loved it!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Depends. If you like the high adventure of King Arthur, then this is for you.

What about Derek Jacobi’s performance did you like?

All of it. Jacobi breathes such life into the characters, and really brought the archaic prose to life.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Didn't laugh or cry, but I did enjoy it very much.

Any additional comments?

The only thing I could call a problem is that I would have liked to have heard more of Arthur's pre-grail adventures. But such is the way of abridgements.

Excellent Reader

Being a fan of "Excalibur" and films about King Arthur, I wanted to get the legends from the source. I found this book tough to get through. I had to repeat many parts because my mind would start to wonder. Other times I was engrossed in the story. Overall I enjoyed it but it was a hard journey.

A Little Tough To Get Through

Overall it is a great resource because the narrator trains you in how to read the antiquated prose. Without this training, it would be really tough to know how to read it - in my opinion anyway. However because it's abridged, you don't get the closure on many of the stories, so you have to read the book and use this audio as a supplement.

Great resource

Amazing story with characters we dream of being. If only we could reclaim chivalry. I love the old writing style.

Classic

One only has to track down the original text of this book to appreciate the reader's skill in its interpretation of it. I did this,curious to investigate the unabridged version,and found it unfathomable!The text was laid out in the ancient English style,with endless lines running into each other and no paragraphs or punctuation to guide you through it.But Derek Jacobi manages to not only to conquer the text,but to give it life as well.If you can excuse the odd patterning of the result,the book is a very worthwhile investment.

Deft dancing in the Word Morass

I realized one day that I'd never actually read Morte d'Arthur as a whole, and listening is easier than reading these days, so I looked at audiobooks. I'm so, so glad I found this! If you have trouble reading 15th century English, this is a great way to be introduced to it, because Jacobi does such a great job you don't even notice many of the older words - they just fit right into the narrative. He seems to understand the characters' actions and reactions in context and interprets them beautifully. I had already enjoyed his reading of Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and will be looking for more of his work.

Derek Jacob is the best!

This work is fairly well known to all lovers of the Arthurian Legend. But the life that Derek Jacobi breathes into every single sentence of the work is just amazing. His reading alone is worth listening to. Sometimes, I hear a sentence, and imagine how I would have read the same sentence; it is at these times that I realize how extraordinary are Mr. Jacobi's powers of interpretation.
Of course, the book itself is filled with tales of the highest adventure, even if the fifteenth-century language takes some getting used to. But in this edition, Derek Jacobi walks away with the show.

Derek Jacobi is Astounding

This sounds like it was taken from tape, and the audio quality is slightly rough around the edges. But Jacobi's reading is phenomenal, taking the knottiest of Malory's sentences and turning them into shimmering, expressive prose. The abridgement is full enough to capture an accurate flavor of the original. Malory's stories develop endless branches upon branches, and just when you think he's lost the thread of the story completely, he comes back to the main point and ties everything up. This version is particularly fortunate in including some of the narrative that follows the death of Arthur and Mordred: the dilemmas faced by Lancelot and Guinevere after the passing of the kingdom, and the decisions they make, are almost unbearably painful. Jacobi, relating these stories, sounds like an old friend by the fireside on a cold winter's night.

An outstanding reading
