Beschreibung

In "The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights," James Knowles masterfully weaves together the tapestry of Arthurian lore, presenting a collection of tales that delve into the heroic exploits of King Arthur, his valiant knights, and the enchanting world of Camelot. Employing a narrative style that balances vivid imagery with poignant character development, Knowles captures the timeless themes of chivalry, loyalty, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. Set against a backdrop of medieval mystique, the work acknowledges earlier literary traditions while introducing an accessible prose aimed at a Victorian audience, thereby breathing new life into these ancient legends and ensuring their enduring appeal. James Knowles, a contemporary of the Victorian literary revival, was profoundly influenced by the Romantic movement's fascination with medieval history and mythology. With a background in literature and a passion for storytelling, Knowles sought to render the complex tales of Arthurian legend into a format that would captivate the imagination of his era. His keen scholarship and creative flair contributed to an enriched understanding of the cultural significance of these legends during a time when nostalgia for the past thrived in England. Readers seeking an engaging entry point into the world of King Arthur will find Knowles'Äô work indispensable. "The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights" is not merely a retelling; it is an evocative exploration of themes that resonate across time. This book invites readers to embark on a journey into a world where bravery and honor pave the path to immortality, making it a must-read for enthusiasts of medieval literature and mythology alike.

    Amsterdam, at the turn of the 18th century. For as long as she can remember, Dorothea Graff has lived in service to her mother, Maria Sibyilla Merian, one of the greatest naturalists in Europe. But as she collects insects and colours illustrations for Maria’s world-famous publications, Dorothea longs for a life that is truly her own. 
    When Maria becomes entranced by the plant and insect life of Suriname, she is determined to record it for herself, taking Dorothea with her. All the family’s savings are ploughed into the dangerous expedition, but greatness is never achieved without sacrifice. The Metamorphosis of the Insects of Suriname will be Maria’s masterpiece, but ensuring its legacy – and her own survival – will become her daughter’s burden. When offered a chance of happiness, will Dorothea have the courage to take it, and risk everything her mother built? 
    From the jungles of South America to the bustling artists’ studios of Amsterdam, The Naturalist of Amsterdam gives voice to the long-ignored women who shaped our understanding of the natural world – both the artists and those who made their work possible.
