The Mists of Avalon

    At last this masterpiece, my favorite book came in the mail today.
    Throughout the novel Lady of the Lake Vivian, Ninian, and then try to connect Morgaine divergent worlds, but their efforts are in vain, all their actions lead to the opposite result. They are too deeply involved in feuds with Christians, they no longer see the positive aspects of another's religion, they became something of the same disabilities, as well as priests. Arthur same, and then his son Mordred position as a link between the worlds does not bring anything good, but on the contrary deprives them of the family, happiness, mutual understanding between the people close. They do not connect the worlds, but on the contrary, break and destroy their souls. Only Kevin sees the hopelessness of attempts to connect worlds through one man, and "betraying" Avalon, bringing the world of the sacred chalice - Grail. According to Bard, all the people of the world must hold sacred relics, all the people shall keep Avalon in his soul.
    At the end of the novel the world of Avalon enters into the world of Christianity, but it is not because of, but in spite of the actions of the characters. "Relics themselves are moving here from Avalon; and some of them were transferred to the Avalon into a world where they are most needed. They will be hidden in Avalon, but they should be in the world ", - thinks old age Morgaine. Symbolically, the interpenetration of the worlds begins, when almost all the characters are dead, and the contradictions between them exhausted with their lives. Thus, the art of the novel is the time of connection time of two parallel worlds of Christianity and pagan beliefs. It covers several generations. Viewpoint, which describes the events, change several times, depending on which of the characters of the novel comes to the fore. But, of course, the center of the narrative is Morgaine, her life, and the way in search of reconciliation between himself and his destiny. At the beginning of the novel we see her child in her mother's arms, in the finale - old woman Landing holy thistle on Viviana's grave. The woman, endowed with wisdom, in the opinion of the author of the novel more than a man, is worthy to become a link between the worlds, but hatred and resentment to prevent Morgaine close people to accept people as they are and put up with other people's beliefs.
    A leisurely narrative, beautiful, sometimes almost poetic language fascinated, not immediately, but somewhere in the middle of the first book. And now I see the story of King Arthur and his family only Bradley's version.
