Présentation de l'éditeur :
For fourteen centuries the story of Arthur was a legend, misted over by the tradition of romantic hero-tales. But Arthur was real - a man of towering strength, a dreamer and a warrior who actually lived, fought and died for his impossible dream. In Sutcliff's now legendary retelling, King Arthur is brought passionately to life.
This brilliant reconception of the Arthurian epic cuts through the familiar myths and tells the story of the real King Arthur: Artos the Bear, the mighty warrior-king who saved the last lights of Western civilization when the barbarian darkness descended in the fifth century. Artos here comes alive: bold and forceful in battle, warm and generous in friendship, tough in politics, shrewd in the strategy of war - and tender and tragically tormented in love. Out of the braiding of ancient legend, fresh research, soaring imagination and hypnotic narrative skill comes a novel that has richly earned its reputation as a classic.

A masterpiece --Chicago Tribune
King Arthur is a living presence who moves in a brilliantly lit and fantastic landscape... Rosemary Sutcliff is a spellbinder. --New York Times
Rosemary Sutcliff was the first, the greatest and the best. She showed the rest of it how it was done with her Roman fiction, but it's with Arthur that she came into her own. Her novel, Sword at Sunset is simply the best evocation of the Arthurian myth ever to grace the page. It's impossible to read it and not to be blown away by the power and clarity of the narrative, by its sheer grounded elegance, by the wonder of the time, by the sense that this is the living Arthur and everything else is a pale shadow. Her writing shines with a lucidity and beauty that seers the mind. I defy you to read this and not to be able to smell the moors, taste the wind, feel the power of the horse warriors, and weep at the doomed king. --MC Scott
