I adore this book, too bad the author was such a nasty woman because I learned so much from all her books. :( (  ) JessAstley | Jan 21, 2023 |  Of all of the retellings of the tales of King Arthur & the many other characters living in Camelot. this version grips you and without lecturing clears up all the little facts and relationships which have traveled between the many different versions. I finally have read what I believe to be a definitive story leaving all that needs to be answered. (  ) Huba.Library | Nov 15, 2022 | I was ...really weirdly attached to this book in middle school ibazel | Oct 5, 2022 | The movie is almost exactly like the book, with the exception of the Aunt and mother who actually are more nuanced and dimensioned. ... The movie made them more evil or good when in reality they are more complex. When I read this book there was such a longing for that place and time, it feels like historically accurate. Especially the conversion from a land and Goddess based life to a sky good religion. It was interesting to see that some characters supported both, or only the old religion or only the new. This must have happened, the theological alliances. It opened my mind to become curious about how conversion to Christianity could have happened in the Celtic lands, and that the goddess does live today in subtle ways. In a way, sad to see some of what we might have lost. (  ) maitrigita | Oct 2, 2022 | What an interesting take on the Arthurian Legend! It's a long a complex story, but it held my interest straight through. I've read it many times. ( ) JDRussell | Aug 27, 2022 |
 In ''The Mists of Avalon,'' Marion Zimmer Bradley's monumental reimagining of the Arthurian legends, the story begins differently, in the slow stages of female desire and of moral, even mythic, choice. Stepping into this world through the Avalon mists, we see the saga from an entirely untraditional perspective: not Arthur's, not Lancelot's, not Merlin's. We see the creation of Camelot from the vantage point of its principal women - Viviane, Gwynyfar, Morgaine and Igraine. This, the untold Arthurian story, is no less tragic, but it has gained a mythic coherence; reading it is a deeply moving and at times uncanny experience.

When Morgan le Fay (Morgaine) has to sacrifice her virginity during fertility rites, the man who impregnates her is her younger brother Arthur, whom she turns against when she thinks he has betrayed the old religion of Avalon. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
