Sinopse

"A kingdom divided, a knight disinherited, and the return of a King."

England is a land of tension. While King Richard the Lionheart languishes in an Austrian prison, his brother Prince John plots to seize the crown, fanning the flames of hatred between the conquered Saxons and the ruling Normans. Into this volatile world returns Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a Saxon knight cast out by his father for his loyalty to the Norman King. From the thrilling tournament at Ashby-de-la-Zouch to the siege of Torquilstone Castle, Ivanhoe brings the 1190s to life with unrivaled color. Featuring legendary figures like Robin Hood (Locksley) and the heroic Rebecca of York, Scott's novel is a pulse-pounding journey through a world of outlaws, Templars, and the code of honor that binds them.

The Rebirth of Robin Hood: Sir Walter Scott is largely responsible for the modern image of Robin Hood as a noble outlaw and a brilliant archer. By weaving "Locksley" into the political struggle of the novel, Scott transformed a collection of folk ballads into a cohesive national myth that still dominates our screens today.

The Complexity of Chivalry: While the novel celebrates bravery, it also questions the cost of the knightly code. Through the tragic figure of Rebecca, the Jewish healer, Scott explores prejudice and religious intolerance, making Ivanhoe a surprisingly modern critique of societal divisions.

Why It Is a Literary Landmark: Ivanhoe did for the Middle Ages what Star Wars did for space; it created an entire aesthetic of heroism. It moved historical fiction away from dry facts and into the realm of high adventure, making it a foundation stone for all fantasy and historical drama that followed.

    The Call of the Wild is a novel by American writer Jack London. The plot concerns a previously domesticated and even somewhat pampered dog named Buck, whose primordial instincts return after a series of events finds him serving as a sled dog in the treacherous, frigid Yukon during the days of the 19th century Klondike Gold Rushes. Published in 1903, The Call of the Wild is one of London's most-read books, and it is generally considered one of his best.    Because the protagonist is a dog, it is sometimes classified as a juvenile novel, suitable for children, but it is dark in tone and contains numerous scenes of cruelty and violence. London followed the book in 1906 with White Fang, a companion novel with many similar plot elements and themes as The Call of the Wild, although following a mirror image plot in which a wild wolf becomes civilized by a mining expert from San Francisco named Weedon Scott.
