A source work for Malory's later Morte d'Arthur, it is an epic tale which documents the horrors of war, the loneliness of kingship and the terrible price paid for arrogance.\u003cbr\u003eThis magnificent poem tells of the arrival of emissaries from Imperial Rome demanding that Arthur pays his dues as a subject. It is Arthur's refusal to accept these demands, and the premise of foreign domination, which leads him on a quest to confront his foes and challenge them for command of his lands.\u003cbr\u003eCombining heroic action, probing insight into human frailty and a great attention to contemporary detail, King Arthur's Death is not only a lesson in effective kingship, it is also an astonishing mirror on our own times, highlighting the folly of letting stubborn dogma drive political decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783529087\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 6.37794 Inches, Length: 9.52754 Inches, Width: 1.06299 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51864413962547,"sku":"9781783529087","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/27991493482822.jpg?v=1754226233","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/king-arthurs-death","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
