La gran novela de los torneos. La rivalidad entre sajones y normando es el telón de fondo de una de las novelas históricas más populares de toda la literatura Ivanhoe. Ricardo, Corazón de León, a quien su cruel hermano Juan sin Tierra está intentando desplazar, es la eminencia gris en esta gran novela de duelos, caballería y torneos, en los cuales la lealtad y la caballerosidad guían una historia de amor. Esto quiere decir que Ivanhoe hay de todo, romance, aventura e historia y eso explica por que de ella se han hecho tantas adaptaciones para el cine y hasta la ópera. Los personajes, que incluyen además a Robin Hood y una fascinante galería de caracteres, hacen que el interés en esta obra no decaiga por un momento. El conocido actor Carlos Zambrano hace una lectura emotiva de esta hermosa novela histórica.

      Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were the Karloff and Lugosi of the British horror film revival of the '60s. Cushing went on to better things, but Lee's breakout never quite. . .broke out. Here, narrating an abridged version of Scott's classic chivalric romance, he demonstrates one possible reason. Despite his sonorous voice, elegant accent, and spot-on characterizations, he never fully engages with the material or the listener. The abridger could have helped him also by less drastically emasculating the derring-do. Y.R. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine

      Scott's 1819 swashbuckler about the Disinherited Knight in the time of Richard I can still provide some thrills, chills, laughs, and tears. Harper's abridgment shaves too much from the vivid characterizations, a fault that Brian Cox somewhat corrects with his narration. For some reason, his Isaac the Jew has an odd, vaguely Eastern European accent, and all his Normans have speech impediments. Cox declaims the narrative like a town crier. While this cheats us of the more exciting moments, it does add welcome clarity to the centuries-old language. Y.R. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
