Ivanhoe

Walter Scott

Sinossi

Set in 12th-century England, Prince John rules while his brother King Richard is away during the Crusades. During his reign, Prince John and others of Norman nobility abuse their power over the Saxons, forcing Saxons off their lands and many Saxon nobles into serfdom. Ivanhoe, a man disowned by his own Saxon father for going to war alongside the Norman King Richard, returns from the Crusades in disguise and appears in a tournament at Ashby. After revealing himself, Prince John and his advisors learn that King Richard, too, has returned from the crusades. Foiling Prince John's plot against King Richard's return to power, King Richard battles against Prince John's allies, and executes the most guilty of his conspirators. After the events of the story, Ivanhoe leads a heroic career under King Richard until the king's untimely death. Ivanhoe is the first novel to feature the character Robin Hood, his merry men, and Friar Tuck, and serves as the basis for the portrayals of his character we still see in many modern adaptations. Walter Scott (died 1961) was a significant literary figure of the 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. Adventure literature of the 19th and early 20th centuries captured the imagination of a reading public hungry for tales of exploration, danger, and heroism. Ivanhoe belongs to this tradition of gripping narratives that transported readers beyond the boundaries of their everyday lives.

Taste Nora-Pleasing Her...

Alexis Dee

"Get out of my room. I'm your stepsister," I muttered, quickly hiding my naked breasts.
 
"You only remember it around me?" he hissed, his silver eyes narrowing into my face.
 
"I saw you with your other stepbrother," he added.
 
"I didn't do anything with him either," I hissed.
 
"Really? He didn't paint you naked?" As soon as he said that, I realized he had seen us together.
 
"If you are going to let him touch you, then I should be allowed too," he stepped closer, "after all, I am not only your stepbrother but your mate too."
 
I wish I could tell him that I have felt the mate bond with all my stepbrothers, and I was worried about what would be the end of us if anyone found out about this forbidden bond.
 
...
