کتاب The Bright Sword اثر Lev Grossman زبان اصلی

A gifted young knight named Collum arrives at Camelot to compete for a spot on the Round Table, only to find he’s too late. The king died two weeks ago at the Battle of Camlann, leaving no heir, and only a handful of the knights of the Round Table survive.

They aren’t the heroes of legend, like Lancelot or Gawain. They’re the oddballs of the Round Tables, from the edges of the stories, like Sir Palomides; the Saracen Knight; and Sir Dagonet, Arthur’s fool, who was knighted as a joke. They’re joined by Nimue, who was Merlin’s apprentice until she turned on him and buried him under a hill. Together this ragtag fellowship will set out to rebuild Camelot in a world that has lost its balance.

But Arthur’s death has revealed Britain’s fault lines. God has abandoned it, and the fairies and monsters and old gods are returning, led by Arthur’s half-sister Morgan le Fay. Kingdoms are turning on each other, warlords are laying siege to Camelot, and rival factions are forming around the disgraced Lancelot and the fallen Queen Guinevere. It is up to Collum and his companions to reclaim Excalibur, solve the mysteries of this ruined world and make it whole again. But before they can restore Camelot they’ll have to learn the truth of why the lonely, brilliant King Arthur fell and lay to rest the ghosts of his troubled family and of Britain’s dark past.

About the author

Lev Grossman’s new novel The Bright Sword is the story of a motley group of oddball knights—and one sorceress—who are trying to rebuild Camelot in the wake of King Arthur’s death. Rebecca Yarros has called it “utterly enchanting,” and George R.R. Martin says: “If you love King Arthur as much as I do, you’ll love Lev Grossman’s The Bright Sword.”

Grossman is also the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Magicians trilogy—The Magicians, The Magician King, and The Magician’s Land—which was adapted as a TV show that ran for five seasons on Syfy. He has written two novels for children: The Silver Arrow, which was on the best-of-the-year lists of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, People, Apple and Amazon, and its sequel The Golden Swift. He wrote the screenplay for the movie The Map of Tiny Perfect Things, which was a finalist for the Critic’s Choice awards. He’ also a journalist: from 2002 to 2016 he worked at Time magazine, where he wrote 20 cover stories, and he’s written essays and articles for, among others, Vanity Fair, the Believer, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and Wired.

Lev grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, the son of two English professors. His twin brother Austin is a writer and game designer, and his older sister Sheba is an artist. He lives in Brooklyn, New York but spends a lot of time in Sydney, Australia, too, where his wife is from. He has three children and a somehow steadily increasing number of cats.
