«Ivanhoé», abridged version, is a historical novel by Walter Scott, published by Hachette in paperback (320 pages, in French).
Set in 12th-century England, it follows the Saxon knight Ivanhoe as he returns from the Crusades and, in claiming his inheritance and the love of Rowena, becomes caught up in the rivalry between Saxons and Normans: tournaments, castle sieges and the struggle between Richard the Lionheart and his brother John.
The work was originally published in 1819; this 1996 French edition includes supplementary material.
Intended for readers aged 9 to 12 who want to approach the classics of adventure.
Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet, was a Scottish novelist, poet and historian. Many of his works remain classics of European and Scottish literature. He is known for his Waverley novels (1814–1831), which were, for nearly a century, among the most popular and widely read novels in Europe. He is also known for his narrative poems Marmion (1808) and The Lady of the Lake (1810). He greatly influenced European and American literature.
