Sinopse

For the first time in hardcover, with a new graphic design and red trilateral paint, the collector's editions of The Chronicles of Arthur were created exclusively for this box set, which celebrates the trilogy's 20th anniversary in Brazil. A gift for fans and an invitation to new readers of Bernard Cornwell's acclaimed series.

Over the centuries, Arthur became the greatest of all literary heroes and one of the most enduring mythical characters in our imagination. But after many versions of his adventures, his true story has been lost in the mists of time. Who was Arthur the man? Where was his kingdom? In what era did he live? What enemies did he fight? To which god did he send his prayers? Which women did he truly love? Did the Knights of the Round Table really exist?

Passionate since childhood about the adventures of Arthur and his knights, writer Bernard Cornwell decided to research the historical figure of this hero. Based on contemporary archaeological discoveries, he created the most exciting saga starring the immortal character.

Narrated by Derfel, a soldier who rises within the army to become Arthur's best friend and advisor, the trilogy tells a more faithful story of the character, without the mythical exaggerations of other works. Arthur, in fact, was never king. He was, rather, the bastard son of King Uther, who became the foremost British military leader in the 5th century. In a troubled Britain, inhabited by Christians and Druids, divided between different feudal lords, and threatened by the Saxon invasion, Arthur emerges as a powerful and courageous warrior capable of inspiring loyalty and uniting the country. A complex character, driven by honor, duty, and passion.
