La gran novela de los torneos. La rivalidad entre sajones y normando es el telon de fondo de una de las novelas historicas mas populares de toda la literatura Ivanhoe. Ricardo, Corazon de Leon, a quien su cruel hermano Juan sin Tierra esta intentando desplazar, es la eminencia gris en esta gran novela de duelos, caballeria y torneos, en los cuales la lealtad y la caballerosidad guian 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 opera. Los personajes, que incluyen ademas a Robin Hood y una fascinante galeria de caracteres, hacen que el interes en esta obra no decaiga por un momento. El conocido actor Carlos Zambrano hace una lectura emotiva de esta hermosa novela historica.
