The key to his success lies in the meticulous historical research and the engaging narrative with which Cornwell dissects the lives of his characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Winter King\u003c\/em\u003e tells the most faithful story of Arthur, without the mythical exaggerations of other publications. Based on fact, this brilliant novel portrays the greatest of all heroes as a powerful British warrior who fights the Saxons to keep Britain united in the 5th century, after the Romans left. The valiant soldier grows within the king's army and within Corwell's narrative to become Arthur's best friend and advisor in peace and war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Winter King\u003c\/em\u003e , Cornwell recalls curious aspects of early Christian warfare, such as the ritual of cursing. The commanders of rival armies would warm up for battle by meeting in the middle of the field and exchanging insults. In this version of the legend, Arthur—the bastard son of King Uther Pendragon—pledges his allegiance and protection to Mordred, the rightful heir to the throne. In a Britain inhabited by Christians and Druids, divided between different feudal lords and their respective interests, and threatened by the Saxon invasion, Arthur emerges as a powerful and courageous warrior capable of inspiring loyalty and uniting the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eA complex character, driven by honor, duty, and passion, masterfully introduced by Cornwell in \u003cem\u003eThe Winter King\u003c\/em\u003e and completed in \u003cem\u003eEnemy of God\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eExcalibur\u003c\/em\u003e . Despite living in the United States since 1979, when he married and gave up a career as a TV producer to become a writer, Cornwell has retained his fine British sense of irony. He collects maps and enjoys researching famous conflicts by visiting battlefields.\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159326933244,"sku":"9788577994649","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/c7fa02154f4dcfa999b0c9e612e4b901.jpg?v=1778320155","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/o-rei-do-inverno-vol-1-as-cronicas-de-artur-edicao-de-bolso","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
