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.

很久以前买的,竟然还在,就随便看了看 对于中小学生,看看还可以,故事曲折 对于成人,还是看原著吧,司各特的魅力只有原著中有
评分 评分司各特最著名最具代表性的历史小说,而内容也是中世纪的骑士精神小说。很是具有鲜明的特别。 小说以骑士艾凡赫和“狮心王”理查为正面代表人物。背景则是王权斗争以及王权与教权的斗争。书中的英国刚刚“诺曼征服”,原始住民撒克逊人和征服者诺曼人之间的斗争还未平息。同时统...
评分毕竟是早几十年的作品,故事情节比大仲马、显克维奇等人差不少。不过营造的中世纪氛围比较好,涉及面也比较广,提到农奴、绿林、宗教迷信什么的。 比项星耀译本好点的是诺曼人姓名之间的“德”翻出来了,这样很明显能看出其民族属性。(唯一的例外是德·布拉西翻译成了狄布来西...
评分司各特的书充满了浪漫主义气息,尤其对人物场景的描述有令人惊叹的功力。虽然站在通篇全文的历史角度,每个人都有其局限性,不过对于我等非文学工作者的普通百姓来说,看书就图个心灵愉悦,关于这点要求,司各特的《英雄艾文荷》完全做到了,与之相比,不得不说《紫艾草骑士》...
