Jack Whyte

    15 de marzo de 1940 – 22 de febrero de 2021

    Jack Whyte reimagina la leyenda del Rey Arturo en una serie histórica épica ambientada en la Britania post-romana. Dejando de lado la magia, Whyte basa su narrativa en las condiciones históricas de la época, sugiriendo que su versión es la verdadera historia que ha sido mitificada con el tiempo. Su estilo, que combina precisión histórica con licencia artística, revitaliza personajes y lugares tradicionales, a menudo presentados en sus formas gaélicas o latinas. Whyte es notable por su esfuerzo por conectar la realidad histórica con el mito, ofreciendo a los lectores una interpretación del mito artúrico como un reflejo de un pasado turbulento.

      The Eagles’ Brood continues the saga of the Colony known as Camulod, and the tale of the descendants of those brave Romans who forged a new way of life for the Celt and Roman peoples when the Roman legions departed Britain. Most know the new leader of the Colony as Merlyn; all call him Commander. Cauis Merlyn Britannicus is responsible for their safety, and all look to him for guidance, leadership, justice, and salvation. It is a harsh life but a good community, and Merlyn is dedicated to spreading the influence of Roman culture beyond the Colony’s borders. Uther Pendragon, the man who will father the legendary Arthur, is the cousin Merlyn has known and loved since they were birthed, four hours apart on the same day, the year the legions left Britain. He is the tireless warrior--the red dragon to Merlyn’s great silver bear--and between the two of them, the Colony knows few enemies. As different as they can be, they are inseparable: two faces of the same coin. In a world torn apart by warfare and upheaval, each is the other’s certainty and guarantee of the survival of the Colony . . . until a vicious crime, one that strikes at the roots of Merlyn’s life, drives a wedge between them. A wedge that threatens the fate of a nation . . . .

      The Eagles' Brood
    • We know the legends: Arthur brought justice to a land that had known only cruelty and force; his father, Uther, carved a kingdom out of the chaos of the fallen Roman Empire; the sword Excalibur, drawn from stone by England's greatest king. But legends do not tell the whole tale. Legends do not tell of the despairing Roman soldiers, abandoned by their empire, faced with the choice of fleeing back to Rome, or struggling to create a last stronghold against the barbarian onslaughts from the north and east. Legends do not tell of Arthur's great-grandfather, Publius Varrus, the warrior who marked the boundaries of a reborn empire with his own shed blood; they do not tell of Publius's wife, Luceiia, British-born and Roman-raised, whose fierce beauty burned pale next to her passion for law and honor. With The Camulod Chronicles, Jack Whyte tells us what legend has forgotten: the history of blood and violence, passion and steel, out of which was forged a great sword, and a great nation. The Singing Sword continues the gripping epic begun in The Skystone: As the great night of the Dark Ages falls over Roman Britain, a lone man and woman fight to build a last stronghold of law and learning--a crude hill-fort, which one day, long after their deaths, will become a great city . . . known as Camelot.

      Jack Whyte's first collection of short stories offers a shift from his expansive historical narratives to a more intimate exploration of personal experiences. While it may seem like a departure, the essence of his storytelling remains intact, focusing on individual perspectives rather than sweeping historical events. This collection invites readers to engage with the emotional depth and nuanced characters that have characterized Whyte's work over the past two decades.
