Sinopse

The novel that invented the historical fiction genre tells the story of a young man swept up in the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Edward Waverley's journey from his regiment into the heart of the Highland clans mirrors the historical transition from a feudal past to a modern union. Scott masterfully depicts the tragic grandeur of the rebellion without losing sight of the practical realities that doomed it. It is a nuanced study of loyalty and the seductive power of a lost cause.
