I have to confess that of all the books I have written these three are my favourites. Nennius, who was one of the earliest historians to mention Arthur, calls him the 'dux bellorum' - leader of battles or warlord.
I suspect he was a great warlord of the sixth century. The Warlord Trilogy is my attempt to tell the story of Arthur, 'Rex Quondam Rexque Futurus', the Once and Future King, although I doubt he ever was a king.
""Once upon a time, in a land that was called Britain, these things happened. Anybody else who’s interested –įor a re-interpretation of the Arthurian Legends I’d thoroughly recommend the following trilogy by Bernard Cornwell Interesting, well written stuff.Ĭobalt Kid / Petey C. It's about how many early Christian texts were discarded in the second century, and how the division seems to be between texts that say that only Jesus was truly divine, and texts that imply that the potential for divinity is in everyone.
Instead, I'm reading Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas by Elaine Pagels. I too enjoyed The Secret History immensely and haven't been able to get into the new book. It's funny reading everyone's comments above about The Little Friend. There was an article in the Boston Globe around the time the book came out last year that outlined the most important invented plot points. Some are expansions of ideas others have had in the past many are complete fabrications. I can't believe that all that historical research he found out is for real.or is it? Does anybody out there know how legitimate the author's findings are?The vast majority of the author's "revelations" are invented. It's been awhile since I 've read a suspense thriller, but this was so much more. I'm currently reading a work by another Canadian writer, Diane Schoemperlen and her Our Lady of the Lost and Found so far, it's a witty story about the notion of Mary, mother of Jesus, finding refuge at a writer's home because she's, quite frankly, tired of pulling miracles and making appearances all over the world and she thought stopping someplace in Canada would be nice because we have a "reputation for being quiet, polite, decent, and rather reserved". This is a book that is sure to generate discussion among anybody has read it. I've had so many people give mixed reviews, but the ending is brilliant. Life of Pi is a must read (a Booker Prize Winner and Canadian!). I only got through 200 pages of it though. What a letdown after The Secret History which I highly enjoyed. I highly recommend "Life of Pi." I too am struggling to get through The Little Friend. Recently, I've read, "Attonement" and "Life of Pi". Unfortunately, "The Little Friend" was unreadable. I loved her first book, "The Secret History". I was trying to read "The Little Friend" by Donna Tartt. Originally posted by Semi Transparent Fellow:
