Book Description
The Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles.
Set in the reign of Richard I, "Coeur de Lion", this novel is an historical romance and a tale of derring-do. As the loyal supporters of King Richard battle against the forces of his wicked and scheming brother, Prince John, the reader encounters such characters as Robin Hood.
From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up--This is an excellent abridgment of the classic by Sir Walter Scott. The story line is very smooth and easy to follow. David Warner's reading is perfect. His British accent is easy to understand and adds to the telling of the story. Music added at the beginning and end of each side provides additional atmosphere. There is enough background information at the beginning of the presentation to allow listeners to follow the plot and the characters. This would be an excellent study tool when reading this work as a school assignment. The addition of a vocabulary list might help listeners with some of the unfamiliar words. The story has enough action and romance to make it a good listening experience for a wide range of ages, making it a valuable purchase for school and public libraries.

From Library Journal
The Modern Library is making a killing on TV/feature film tie-ins to classics. Like its recent incarnations of Gulliver's Travels and Emma, this offers a quality hardcover for little more than a paperback price.
From AudioFile
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.

評分 評分我們這個年紀的人剛剛開始學英語的時候,正好是Growing Pains在中國第一次播齣的時候。我們的英語老師是個很有新思路的老太太,她也看Growing Pains,所以給我們每個人起英語名字的時候,Michael、Carol、Ben是少不瞭的。Michael——那時候老太太用的是Mike,這樣拼比較簡單—...
評分司各特的書妙趣橫生,文學價值與可讀性均高,這一本更是好讀得很 而最有趣的是序,充滿特定時期的意識形態,由於馬剋思著作中批駁過獅心王理查,所以司各特在書中將理查塑造為正麵形象這一點被作序者大加抨擊,被冠以意識形態之類的大帽子,雖然司各特在書中清楚的寫到理查是一...
評分看原文纔能令你知道Ivanhoe的真正魅力…… 從這本書中可以知道,當時的世俗文學是被騎士文學所統治的。騎士們當然不會關心什麼第一原因和最終目的。他們一直保持一種蠻勇、俠義、忠誠、嚮婦女獻殷勤的精神,卻也非常有意思……
