Walter Scott’s “Ivanhoe” is a novel that became a symbol of its era. It has been filmed countless times, inspiring both admiration and outrage. It was imitated and parodied as well. Even in the 20th century, Vladimir Vysotsky dedicated his cycle of ballads to it. The story of the young knight Wilfred Ivanhoe, his fiancée Lady Rowena, the Templar Brian de Bois-Guilbert, and the beautiful Jewish girl Rebecca, as well as the warrior king Richard the Lionheart and Robin Hood, continues to captivate readers of all ages.
