Arthur Rackham Livres

Les voyageurs qui ont remonté le cours de l'Hudson doivent avoir gardé souvenir des montagnes de Kaatskill. Elles forment un rameau détaché de la grande chaîne des Appalaches et se voient dans le lointain, à l'ouest du fleuve, fières, élancées, dominant le pays. Chaque changement de saison, ou même de temps, chaque heure du jour, modifient leurs couleurs et leurs formes magiques. A la ronde, toutes les bonnes femmes les considèrent comme un parfais baromètre. Quand le temps est au beau fixe, vêtues de bleu et de pourpre, elles découpent leurs contours audacieux dans le clair du soir...

From the Preface by Alfred W. Pollard: "There is much repetition in the Morte d'Arthur as Malory left it. How often Sir Breuse sans Pitie played his ugly tricks, or Tristram rescued Palomides, or minor knights met at adventure and emulated their betters, it is not easy to count. I have tried to clear away some of the underwoods that the great trees may be better seen, and though I know that I have cleared away some small timber that is fine stuff in itself, if the great trees stand out the better, the experiment may be forgiven. In attempting it I have introduced, I think, not more than a hundred words of my own, but in certain places I have taken over the readings devised half a century ago for the well-known Globe edition by Sir Edward Strachey, which has justified itself by passing through some twenty editions, and has probably brought Malory more readers than all other texts put together."
