Acerca de esta escucha

A posthumous recipient of the World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement, Marion Zimmer Bradley reinvented - and rejuvenated - the King Arthur mythos with her extraordinary Mists of Avalon series. In this epic work, Bradley follows the arc of the timeless tale from the perspective of its previously marginalized female characters: Celtic priestess Morgaine, Gwenhwyfar, and High Priestess Viviane.

It should be considered a classic!

Simply amazing! The storytelling of these books is so clever and fresh even though they were written 30 years ago. If you love stories that have been reworked and reimagined you will love this! The storytelling is epic. It should be considered a classic!

A essential read for lovers of the Arthur Legends

Any additional comments?

As some one who as read many of the traditional King Arthur stories, I loved the way Bradley delved into and opened up the legends. She hits all the traditional moments that we know from Pyle, TH White, Tennyson etc.. while take time to really flush out some of the subtler themes (christianity vs paganism, the courtly French vs common English). It is this aspect of Bradley's story that makes Mist of Avalon and essential read for any one wishing to really understand the King Arthur Legends.

One of the most..,

I read this book 30 years ago and listened to it again this week. I’m so glad that as wisdom has come into my life, I can live it again, with all new insights. Although the first time through it was no less impactful. In a way, it’s the most important book in a woman can read – and it brings respect for any man will. I knew this time that the first 60 pages or so we’re hard. So just get through those. They will make sense later!

If you like Guinevere...

This may not be the Arthur/Camelot story for you. I love the way MZB tells the story from Avalon.
Masterfully written and put together. The performance is wonderful too.

Davinia Porter is the reason I chose this book.

But kept going for the story. I had only known the shell of the story of Arthur and the knights of the round table. The embellishment of the Goddesses of Avalon and the religious battle between the two worlds is is thought provoking.

What is up with the cover image?!

I love this book- have read it many times throughout my life and at each stage I discover another nuance. I can not recommend it enough- such a testimony to the many strengths all kinds of women possess.

So why in the world does this new cover image have ONLY MEN?! This book is from the perspective of women and all the magnificent fierceness that comes with it. Someone please- get rid of that cover image!

The book is a very good read

What did you love best about The Mists of Avalon?

One has to enjoy the Celtic Stories and have an interest in them. The Mist of Avalon is the first book of a series. Try to read them in numerical order. The author spins a very GOOD STORY. I don't remember how many pages, but an unabridged audio is the way to go.

What other book might you compare The Mists of Avalon to and why?

At this time, I can honestly say that each author that writes about the Celts, Irish, and the Briton's bring their own story. If one would like to start out and just dig in try Stephen Lawhead's The Pendragon Cycle. One gets to see the different characters. Morgan Llewellyn's books of Celtic Myths is a good way to start. If I am not mistaken, these three are from Ireland or Scotland, possibly Great Britain.

Which scene was your favorite?

For me, I did not have a favorite scene, I enjoyed to whole book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

For me, I did not have a favorite scene, I enjoyed to whole book.

Well done!

Bradley accomplished something truly wonderful with this novel. She recreated a world and characters so vividly that we could escape our own reality, and join them. Each character is unique and the voices and thoughts ring true from their youth to old age. Davina Porter's performance is flawless. I've never enjoyed an audio book as much as this one. I will listen again and again. And I will never again look into the mist without a smile of longing for the magical world it may be hiding from my eyes.
