關於本電子書
Featuring an appendix of discussion questions, this Diversion Classics edition is ideal for use in book groups and classrooms.
This classic tale of medieval adventure not only merges history and fiction with ease, but introduces the world to a host of beloved characters as they are known today, such as Robin Hood and his Merry Men. After declaring his allegiance to the Norman king and seeking to marry against his father’s wishes, the Saxon-born Ivanhoe is banished from England. Torn from his true love, he joins Richard the Lion Heart’s crusade in the Holy Land. Scheming to win Rowena back, Ivanhoe returns home to attend a jousting tournament under the name Desdichado. In the chaos that ensues, however, Ivanhoe is locked in the bitter power struggle between the righteous King Richard and his conniving brother, John.

關於作者
Walter Scott was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on August 15, 1771. He began his literary career by writing metrical tales. The Lay of the Last Minstrel, Marmion, and The Lady of the Lake made him the most popular poet of his day. Sixty-five hundred copies of The Lay of the Last Minstrel were sold in the first three years, a record sale for poetry. His other poems include The Vision of Don Roderick, Rokeby, and The Lord of the Isles. He then abandoned poetry for prose. In 1814, he anonymously published a historical novel, Waverly, or, Sixty Years Since, the first of the series known as the Waverley novels. He wrote 23 novels anonymously during the next 13 years. The first master of historical fiction, he wrote novels that are historical in background rather than in character: A fictitious person always holds the foreground. In their historical sequence, the Waverley novels range in setting from the year 1090, the time of the First Crusade, to 1700, the period covered in St. Roman's Well (1824), set in a Scottish watering place. His other works include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, and The Bride of Lammermoor. He died on September 21, 1832.
