The king of the past and future. White T.Kh.

Tetralogy T. Kh. White “King of the past and future” (plus the “Merlin Book” published posthumously) - the works of iconic not only in science fiction, but also in the literature in general. It is enough to mention the names of writers who directly spoke of the influence that T. Kh. White had on them to make sure of this. Michael Murkock, Joan Rowling, Neil Gaiman - the list can be continued for a long time. The source of the cycle, of course, Thomas Malori, his "death of Arthur."

on the other hand, White is so consonant with his era, so nourished these books with thoughts about good and evil, anxiety for the modern world (the first books of the cycle were published in the prewar years), which, regardless of the source, value and identity They are not in doubt.

On the tombstone on the grave of T. Kh. White, the inscription was knocked out: "A writer who, from the depths of his exhausted heart, gave people joy and praised life." And this is really so.
