وصف الكتاب
This is a new, limited edition hardback version of the controversial retelling of Scott's classic novel the original text has been slashed from an epic 194,000 words to a more manageable 95,000. Ivanhoe follows Wilfred of Ivanhoe, part of one of the few Saxon families at a time when English nobility was dominated by the Normans, who is out of favour with his father for his allegiance to the Norman king, Richard the Lionheart. The gripping storyline beautifully captures the 12th century tensions between Saxons and Normans, Nobility and Commonality and Jews and Gentiles, with a whole host of well known characters from Robin Hood to Friar Tuck.
عن المؤلف
SIR WALTER SCOTT, 1st Baronet (15 August 1771 21 September 1832) was a Scottish historical novelist, playwright and poet, born in Edinburgh's Old Town. Despite the anonymous publication of his first novel, Waverley, Scott became the first English-language author to have a truly international career in his own lifetime, with many contemporary readers in Europe, Australia and North America. His novels and poetry are still well-known, and many of his works including Rob Roy, The Lady of the Lake and The Heart of Midlothian are regarded as classics of literature. Ivanhoe was Scott's first novel to be set outwith Scotland, being positioned in late 12th Century England. It was allegedly published in 1819.DAVID PURDIE was born privately in Prestwick and educated publicly at Ayr Academy and Glasgow University. Now a former medical academic, he devotes what time is left to writing, lecturing and broadcasting. David is Editor-in-Chief of The Burns Encyclopaedia, which deals with the life and work of the poet Robert Burns, and is Chairman of the Sir Walter Scott Club of Edinburgh. He is in considerable demand as an after-dinner speaker and lecturer, described in this role by the Daily Telegraph as 'probably our best of the moment'. He now lives in Edinburgh.
