Part two of the Merlin saga. Pbk. \ Book
Far from being the scourge of Arthur, his bastard son Mordred actually strives to resist Merlin's prophecy of doom. But he is thwarted by the schemes of his sorceress mother, Queen Morgause, who has brought him up to be her revenge incarnate, and by misunderstandings beyond his control. Prophecy triumphs, and the confrontation that is as fatal as it is inevitable is played out against the darkened walls of the city of Camelot.350p. notes Maps on endpapers.

Arthur is King! But while he is unchallenged on the battlfield, sinister powers plot to destroy him in his own Camelot. When the rose-gold witch Morgause, Arthur's half-sister, ensnares him into an incestuous liaison - and bears his son, Mordred, to use to her own evil ends - a fatal web of love, betrayal and vengeance begins. Seen through the eyes of Arthur's prophetic protector, Merlin -- whose own mysterious powers are in dire danger - here is a tale rich with the majesty and turbulence of the magnificent legend it retells. 448p, notes, maps on endpapers Book

In 16, pp. 160 + (4). Br. ed. Scritto polemico in cui l'A. si dichiara contrario alla soppressione delle case di tolleranza sancito dalla legge Merlin entrata in vigore nel 1958. Scrive Polignone: 'i sintomi negativi gia' cominciano a farsi sentire. Il fenomeno s'e' acutizzato anche sui marciapiedi cittadini [...]. A Milano, epicentro del libertinaggio nordico, e dove le passeggiatrici nel giro di qualche mese sono raddoppiate, le strade rigurgitano di peripatetiche che 'battono' indisturbate'. Nella seconda parte dell'opera sono analizzati l'iter parlamentare della legge, la relazione Tozzi-Condivi, e le esperienze di altri stati europei, come la Francia, paese nel quale, su impulso dell'attivista ex prostituta Marthe Richard, gia' nel 1946 erano state chiuse la case di tolleranza.
