The great book takes on a new life. Once upon a time, Sir Knight Thomas Malory translated the French tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table into the modern “ancient” English language, and his “Le Morte d’Arthur” for many generations remained a reference book for everyone who dreamed of miracles, exploits and glory. In the 20th century, the famous American writer John Steinbeck made a daring attempt: he rewrote Malory’s already finished text so that the novel, which had not lost any of its charm, would become closer and more understandable to the modern reader. And it worked! Before you is the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table “by Steinbeck."
