Tegen de achtergrond van de Normandische (Franse) heerschappij over het Saksische Engeland in de 11e en 12e eeuw, volgen we een dappere Saks die op een toernooi tegen Normandiërs vecht. Dit is de verstoten Ivanhoe die voor zijn geliefde strijdt, jonkvrouw Rowena. Daarnaast volgen we de belegering van het oude Saksische kasteel Torquilstone dat door de Normandiërs bezet is. Robin Hood is een van de leiders bij het beleg, waarin de Normandiërs weer het onderspit delven. Van Ivanhoe wordt vaak gezegd dat het de eerste historische roman is.

Ivanhoe (1819) was the first of Sir Francis Scott's novels to adopt a purely English subject and was also his first attempt to combine history and romance, which later influenced Victorian medievalism. Set at the time of the Norman Conquest, Ivanhoe returns from the Crusades to claim his inheritance and the love of Rowena and becomes involved in the struggle between Richard Coeur de Lion and his Norman brother John. The gripping narrative is structured by a series of conflicts: Saxon versus Norman, Christian versus Jew, men versus women, played out against Scott's unflinching moral realism.Optimized for Kindle devices and featuring Panel Zoom facility.From its beginnings in the 1940's to today, Classics Illustrated continues to encourage a love of reading and adventure in youthful minds through beautifully-illustrated comic book adaptations of the world's most beloved stories by the world's greatest authors.A collection of Classics Illustrated books is an inviting start to any young person's library.

De Talisman is een onderdeel van het tweeluik `Vertellingen van de kruisvaarders' van Sir Walter Scott, die gezien wordt als de uitvinder van de historische roman.

We volgen de schotse ridder Kenneth die zich te midden van geweld, politieke intriges, romantiek en verraad. Maar de belangrijkste rollen zijn die van de Schotse koning Richard I Leeuwenhart en de sultan Saladin, die in al hun verschillen soms onverwachte kwaliteiten in elkaar naar boven halen.
