Rob Roy – Walter Scott par Walter Scott

"Vengeance is the sweetest morsel to the mouth that ever was cooked in hell."

Francis Osbaldistone travels to the North of England and the Scottish Highlands to recover his father's stolen assets. There, he meets the charismatic outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor, a Scottish Robin Hood figure. Amidst the Jacobite rising of 1715, Francis navigates a world of political intrigue, family betrayal, and wild adventure.

This novel is one of Scott's most popular works. It paints a vivid, romantic, yet realistic portrait of the Highlands and the legendary figure of Rob Roy, exploring the tension between the lawless code of honor and the encroaching modern world.
