Whispers of ancient magic and destiny ripple through a world where heroes rise, lovers are tested, and the veil between realms grows perilously thin. In these timeless Welsh legends, warriors fight for honor and vengeance, enchantresses wield mysterious powers, and the Otherworld beckons with wonder and danger. Shape-shifting sorcery, epic battles, and tragic betrayals fill these tales with intrigue and awe, revealing a landscape where mortal lives intertwine with divine forces. Each story carries the echoes of a forgotten past, pulling readers into a realm where myth and reality merge in striking ways. More than folklore, The Mabinogion bridges the ancient Celtic past with medieval literature, preserving some of the oldest surviving myths of Britain. Rooted in Welsh oral tradition, the collection offers insights into pre-Christian beliefs, heroic ideals, and early social structures. Revered for centuries, these tales influenced Arthurian romance, inspired poets, and remain a cultural treasure that continues to shape storytelling.
Autorenporträt
The author of The Mabinogion is unknown, as the stories were passed down through Welsh oral tradition before being recorded in medieval manuscripts. They were later preserved in the White Book of Rhydderch and the Red Book of Hergest, two 14th-century texts. Though the scribes remain unnamed, their work safeguarded Wales's rich mythological heritage.These tales draw from ancient Celtic mythology, heroic sagas, and supernatural folklore. They reflect the cultural and political landscape of early Wales, blending history with legend. While the original storytellers are lost to time, their influence endures.In the 19th century, Lady Charlotte Guest translated and popularized The Mabinogion, introducing it to a wider English-speaking audience. Her work helped establish the text as a foundational piece of medieval literature and revived interest in Welsh mythology. Thanks to her efforts and the nameless scribes before her, The Mabinogion continues to captivate readers and scholars alike, preserving the voice of a lost era.
