"Quentin Durward" is a gripping historical novel by Walter Scott, artfully intertwining true events of the era with the author's creative imagination. In the mid-15th century, a fierce political struggle erupts in France between King Louis XI and Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. A young Scottish nobleman, Quentin Durward, enlists in His Majesty's personal guard and unexpectedly finds himself at the very center of this struggle. On a secret mission from the king, Durward accompanies two strangers to a remote monastery in Liège. Along the way, the young man's heart is captured by the younger of the two ladies, Countess Isabella de Croy. However, many aristocrats seek the beauty's hand, including the cruel Baron Guillaume de la Marck, nicknamed the Boar of Ardennes for his ferocity. In the midst of the decisive battle for his love, Quentin leaves his adversary after hearing his plea for help... The book's vibrant and atmospheric illustrations were created by the remarkable graphic artist Anatoly Zinovievich Itkin.
