Description
Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott In this epic tale, Ivanhoe's quest for love and loyalty becomes a fight for survival in medieval England. After being banished from his homeland, he joins the crusade of Richard the Lion Heart, only to return with a burning desire to reunite with Rowena, a woman forbidden to him by his father. As Ivanhoe navigates the treacherous world of 12th-century politics, he finds himself caught between his loyalty to King Richard and his growing unease with the injustices perpetrated by his brother John. Set against the backdrop of tournaments, sieges, and chivalry, this novel masterfully weaves together history and fiction to create a richly romanticized world. Penguin Classics presents Ivanhoe as part of its esteemed collection of classic literature, featuring authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
