Produktbeschreibung

When Frank Obaldistone is sent, disinherited and in disgrace, to live with his uncle, Sir Hildebrand, he meets and falls in love with the beautiful Diana Vernon. But, when his cousin Rashleigh steals documents that are vital to his father's livelihood and reputation, Frank has no choice but to pursue him to restore his father's honour and his family's good name. Along the way, Frank crosses paths with the legendary Rob Roy-an infamous Scottish folk hero who has information of benefit to Frank and his family.

Set against the backdrop of the 1715 Jacobite Rising in Scotland, Sir Walter Scott's Rob Roy is both an epic tale of adventure and romance, and a realistic reflection of the brutal living and social conditions present in Scotland during the early eighteenth century.

Autorenporträt

Sir Walter Scott was a Scottish novelist, playwright and poet who earned worldwide celebrity for his writing in the early nineteenth century. Born and educated in Edinburgh, Scott's first literary success came when a childhood friend established a printing house and offered to publish his poetry. Despite earning some success as a poet, Scott decided to publish his first novel anonymously, and released Waverly in 1814. As "The Author of Waverly,” Scott went on to publish dozens of novels, short stories, and poems, including Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, and The Lady of the Lake. He died in 1832 at the age of 61.
