With the secret return of King Richard and the disinherited Saxon knight Ivanhoe, Scott confronts his splendid and tumultuous romance, featuring the tournament at Ashby-de- la-Zouche, the siege of Torquilstone, and the clash of wills between the wicked Templar Bois-Guilbert and the sublime Rebecca. Includes unique illustrations.

"Der schwarze Zwerg" ist ein weiterer Roman aus der Reihe "Erz hlungen meines Wirtes" von Sir Walter Scott.

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. Förutom att han försöker återfå sin fars gunst, måste Ivanhoe kämpa om den vackra lady Rowena, försvara sin kung och ställa upp till duell för att rädda den goda judinnan Rebecca, som har anklagats för att vara häxa. Den spännande handlingen och blandningen av fiktiva huvudpersoner och historiska bipersoner är typisk för författaren. Romanen har filmatiserats flera gånger, bl.a. 1952 med Robert Taylor i huvudrollen som Ivanhoe, Elizabeth Taylor som judinnan Rebecca och Joan Fontaine som den vackra lady Rowena. “När Sir Walter Scott, advokat till yrket, skrev Ivanhoe 1791, uppfann han den historiska romanen. Denna storslagna romantiska berättelse om fara och befrielse, ridderlighet och flärd skapade en genre.” – Scotsman “[Ivanhoe] hänförde människor över hela världen, till och med Goethe som deklarerade att Scott hade skapat 'en helt och hållet ny konst'.” - Daily Telegraph

Rokeby: A Poem (Classic Reprint) by Walter Scott I meditated, at first, a poem on the subject of Bruce, in which I made some progress, but afterwards judged it advisable to lay it aside, supposing that an English story might have more novelty; in consequence, the precedence was given to Rokeby.
