Sinossi
Romanzo gotico a tutto tondo, apparso nel 1819 col titolo La sposa di Lammermoor, dipana tra sinistre atmosfere e presenze soprannaturali la tragica storia d’amore tra Lucia di Ashton e Edgardo di Ravenswood, vittime della rivalità delle proprie famiglie. Presentata da Scott come una vicenda desunta da attendibili fonti d’epoca e realmente accaduta in Scozia alla metà del xvii secolo, è una storia di passione e di morte, la cui fine è adombrata fin dall’inizio in una terribile profezia: l’ultimo signore di Ravenswood aspirerà alla mano di una morta. Duelli, assassinii, inganni e pazzia sono le tinte forti di questo romanzo che ispirò a Donizetti l’omonimo dramma, capolavoro del teatro musicale romantico.

Recensioni
This is an impressive work, one that can be enjoyed by fans of the historical novel, the gothic novel and the novel of ethnic character--provided they accept "The Bride" as a not completely effective fusion of the three and are willing to adjust their expectations accordingly. The essential plot--th Leggi tutto
Around the time of the union between Scotland and England 1707, great changes are occurring in that ancient an often unhappy land of the north, rebellion is always beneath the calm surface, in uneasy Scotland. Rivalries, family blood feuds, (and just plain hate) political contests between Whigs and
Seriously gothic fans, listen up: This is your ultimate indulgence. This is ridiculously over the top. The characters actually swish their cloaks and make dark, portentous pronouncements. Wolves really howl at the moon, the dudes really live in broken down castles. Ladies go mad! Men lose their inhe Leggi tutto
I read this book after working on the opera based on it which, it turns out, has relatively little to do with the novel after all. While the opera is boiled down to the story of two star-crossed lovers, the novel puts the lovers on the back-burner, preferring to concentrate its focus on creating a r Leggi tutto
My second read of this story based on a true story where the bride went insane and stabbed the bridegroom on the wedding night. This tragedy has also been made into a opera. The novel starts with the death of Lord Ravenswood and there now being only one member of the Ravenswood family left, is Maste Leggi tutto
É sempre um prazer revisitar este autor clássico, considerado o pai do romance histórico, mas desta vez o prazer foi ainda maior. Isto porque comparando com as obras de Walter Scott já lidas (Ivanhoe, Waverley e O Talismã) esta ficou como minha preferida das quatro. Aliada aos elementos já esperados, Leggi tutto
My first Walter Scott - read on the 200th anniversary of its first publication in 1819. It would be very easy to pick this book to pieces - a too slow start and an overly rapid, abrupt ending; minor characters that hog the stage; melodrama galore - but I actually thoroughly enjoyed this magnificent p Leggi tutto
