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.

    Written in 1906, Before Adam is a bit of a departure from London's other novels. Still an adventure novel, this one revolves around the dreams of a young boy, dreams that involve racial memories and the knowledge of his prior existence as a man-like creature named Big Tooth living in prehistoric times. "These are our ancestors, and their history is our history. Remember that as surely as we one day swung down out of the trees and walked upright, just as surely, on a far earlier day, did we crawl up out of the sea and achieve our first adventure on land."

    Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic, best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre. Born in Boston, Poe was orphaned young and raised by a foster family in Richmond, Virginia. He attended the University of Virginia but left due to financial issues, later joining the U.S. Army. Poe's literary career began with poetry, but he gained fame with his short stories, particularly with "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Tell-Tale Heart," and "The Cask of Amontillado." He's also celebrated for his poem "The Raven," which became an instant success. Poe pioneered the detective fiction genre with "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," introducing C. Auguste Dupin. His works often explore themes of death, loss, and the human psyche. Poe's life was marked by poverty, alcoholism, and personal tragedy, and he died under mysterious circumstances at the age of 40. His influence on literature, especially in horror and detective genres, remains profound.

    Some men dream of changing society. Others simply hope to survive luncheon without disgrace.
    In Comrade Bingo, P. G. Wodehouse unleashes another round of romantic confusion, social acrobatics, and impeccably polished nonsense. Bertie Wooster finds himself observing a world in which revolutionary ideals, aristocratic habits, and spectacularly poor decisions coexist far too comfortably. At the center of it all is Bingo Little — enthusiastic, impressionable, and once again dangerously in love. As political fervor collides with drawing-room etiquette, disguises become necessary, loyalties become flexible, and even the most respectable gathering threatens to dissolve into chaos.
    Effortlessly witty and irresistibly light-footed, this is a masterclass in comic precision and the particular kind of disaster that only English gentlemen can create with complete sincerity.
