T. H. White's masterful retelling of the saga of King Arthur is a fantasy classic as legendary as Excalibur and Camelot, and a poignant story of adventure, romance, and magic that has enchanted readers for generations.   Once upon a time, a young boy called "Wart" was tutored by a magician named Merlyn in preparation for a future he couldn't possibly imagine. A future in which he would ally himself with the greatest knights, love a legendary queen and unite a country dedicated to chivalrous values. A future that would see him crowned and known for all time as Arthur, King of the Britons.   During Arthur's reign, the kingdom of Camelot was founded to cast enlightenment on the Dark Ages, while the knights of the Round Table embarked on many a noble quest. But Merlyn foresaw the treachery that awaited his liege: the forbidden love between Queen Guenever and Lancelot, the wicked plots of Arthur's half-sister Morgause and the hatred she fostered in Mordred that would bring an end to the king's dreams for Britain--and to the king himself. "[The Once and Future King] mingles wisdom, wonderful, laugh-out-loud humor and deep sorrow--while telling one of the great tales of the Western world."--Guy Gavriel Kay… (altro)

I actually listened to the first story- The Sword In The Stone- in this book , then the audio died. Bad cd. So I returned it to the library and someday will finish, because I was enjoying it. ( )

Long and meandering, this retelling of the myth of King Arthur is a beautiful fantasy story about a young boy and the lessons, trails and tribulations he encounters along his way, as he tries to introduce Law, Order and Civilization to his beloved country. Written during WWII, White takes apart the nature of man in this story and looks very deeply and carefully at why men fight wars, and how as a species we can one day walk away from it all. With a very distinct cast of characters and a beautiful way of writing (sometimes funny, more often than not engaging), this book is definitely not just for fans of Arthurian legend, but also those looking for something that will make them think a little about the Human Condition.

Exceptional! I didn't want it to end. ( )

It starts slow and has some slow parts, but all told, it's bloody brilliant. An excellent addition to Arthuriana and some fascinating philosophical thought ( )

Azt hiszem, így tisztességes kezelni egy nagy nemzeti mítoszt: játékosan és szabadon. Megőrizni a történet alapvonalait, de áttörni a nyelvi és gondolkodásbeli korlátokat (amelyek a századok során óhatatlanul rárakódtak) azzal, hogy nem félünk az anakronizmusoktól, és bátran kibeszélünk a jelen olvasóihoz. Ezzel érzékeltetjük, hogy maga az üzenet (mint minden időtálló mítosz üzenete) nincs bezárva az idő kalitkájába, hanem az örökkévalóságnak szól. Az Üdv néked, Arthur, nagy király bővelkedik ugyan mulatságos kalandokban, és gazdagon fricskázza a lovagkor blődségeit, de nem puszta paródia – több okból sem lehet az. Mindenekelőtt azért, mert olyan életteli szereplőgárdát játszat, hogy azok szétfeszítik a komédia kereteit – úgy megszereti őket az ember, hogy én szinte féltem végigolvasni ezt a könyvet, nehogy bajuk essék*. Mert hát – nem titok ez: az Arthur-mondakör nem vidám olvasmány – bizony bajuk esik. Ez a könyv ugyanis úgy játékos, hogy közben végtelenül szomorú is. (Megjegyezném: csak a legnagyobbak tudják ezt a két szintet – a játékost és a szomorút – egy szövegen belül mozgatni.) Keserű, bölcs tanmese ez az emberről és a hatalomról: a királyról, aki életét teszi fel arra, hogy az Erő Törvényének helyére az Igazság Törvényét helyezze, hogy aztán ez az abszolút (és épp ezért: könyörtelen) Igazság legyen a végzete. Arról, hogy a Rend, még ha jó szándékból születik is (hogy a Káoszt kordában tartsa), gyakran túlnő az emberen, és felfalja őt. Mert hiába hisszük azt, hogy vannak Jó Emberek, meg vannak Rossz Emberek, és elég kettejüket elkülöníteni a tökéletes társadalom eléréséhez – ez nem igaz. A helyzet az, hogy a Jó is, meg a Rossz is az emberen belül van – nincs olyan Nagy Király, aki ezen változtathatna.

* Vajon megmenthetnénk a haláltól mondjuk Zola regényeinek hőseit, ha soha többé nem olvasnánk Zola-regényt? ( )

Of the wrong my father did?
How long, how long, till spade and hearse
Put to sleep my mother's curse?

“If I were to be made a knight,” said the Wart, staring dreamily into the fire, “I should insist on doing my vigil by myself, as Hob does with his hawks, and I should pray to God to let me encounter all the evil in the world in my own person, so that if I conquered there would be none left, and, if I were defeated, I would be the one to suffer for it.”
“That would be extremely presumptuous of you,” said Merlyn, “and you would be conquered, and you would suffer for it.”
“I shouldn’t mind.”
“Wouldn’t you? Wait till it happens and see.”
"The best thing for being sad," replied Merlyn, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then—to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."
"Which did you like best," he asked, "the ants or the wild geese?"
"Yet here I am denouncing their ideas of nationalism, being what their politicians would call a traitor—because, by calling names, they can score the cheap debating points. And do you know another thing, Arthur? Life is too bitter already, without territories and wars and noble feuds."
"You have become the king of a domain in which the popular agitators hate each other for racial reasons, while the nobility fight each other for fun, and neither the racial maniac nor the overlord stops to consider the lot of the common soldier, who is the one person that gets hurt. Unless you can make the world wag better than it does at present, King, your reign will be an endless series of petty battles, in which the aggressions will either be from spiteful reasons or from sporting ones, and in which the poor man will be the only one who dies.
