Ridderturneringer, kidnapninger, dueller på liv og død, hekseafbrændinger, en mystisk sort ridder og den tapre Robin Hood. Alt dette og meget mere byder den eventyrlige fortælling om korstogsridderen Ivanhoe på. Romanen foregår i 1200-tallets kaotiske England, hvor der er splid mellem saksere og normannere, kristne og jøder og kamp om kongemagten mellem Richard Løvehjerte og hans intrigante bror Johan. Ivanhoe er netop hjemvendt fra et korstog, hvor han har kæmpet side om side med den normanniske Richard Løvehjerte.

Classico intramontabile scritto dal romanziere e poeta scozzese Sir Walter Scott (1771/1832), Ivanhoe fu pubblicato nel 1819 riscuotendo subito un enorme successo di pubblico. Scrittore romantico e non privo di humour, Scott si può considerare l’iniziatore di un genere letterario, quello del romanzo storico. Vari scrittori si sono ispirati all’opera di Scott e tra loro, per citarne solo alcuni, Aleksandr Puškin, Mark Twain, Victor Hugo, Alessandro Manzoni e Alexandre Dumas.

Ivanhoe è considerato come il primo vero esempio di genere storico, e in esso, oltre alla figura di Ivanhoe, vengono presentate figure leggendarie come Robin Hood, frate Tuck, e Riccardo Cuor di Leone. All'inizio della vicenda, Scott dice che essa si colloca "verso la fine del regno di Riccardo I"; poiché Riccardo stesso compare nel romanzo, di ritorno in Inghilterra dalla Terza Crociata dopo la prigionia passata dal duce d'Austria; pertanto i fatti si collocano attorno al 1194. Le tematiche trattate sono molteplici e complesse.

Julius Caesar is quite an enigmatic figure to contemplate. He is often viewed as an upholder of liberty, the hero of the Roman Republic, but in truth he died a dictator. In another strange turn of events his assassins were those that he had granted full pardons to in his famous acts of clemency. Caesar was a man who was often found to be a polarizing figure. He was loved by the general public but hated by his peers in the Senate.

Riddarturneringar, kidnappningar, dueller på liv och död, häxbål, en mystisk svart ridddare och den tappra Robin Hood. Allt detta och mycket mer bjuder den äventyrliga historien om korstågsriddaren Ivanhoe på. Romanen utspelar sig i 1200-talets kaotiska England, där det råder oenighet mellan saxarna och normanderna, kristna och judar och det är strid om kungamakten mellan Rikard Lejonhjärta och hans lömska bror Johan. Ivanhoe har precis kommit hem från ett korståg, där han har kämpat sida vid sida med den normandiska Rikard Lejonhjärta. Detta har väckt förbittring hos Ivanhoes saxiska far Cedric, som har gjort honom arvlös.

This tale, published in 1828, is based on The Story of an Apparition, a ghost story published in Blackwood's 10 years earlier by an author identified only as A. B. Sir Walter Scott took that rather flimsy story and turned into a masterful tale of the supernatural.
