The Talisman is a historical novel written by Sir Walter Scott and first published in 1825. The story is set during the Third Crusade (1189-1192) and follows the adventures of Sir Kenneth, a Scottish knight who travels to the Holy Land to fight for the Christian cause. Along the way, he meets and befriends a Muslim emir named Saladin, and the two men develop a mutual respect for each other despite their religious differences.The novel is a tale of chivalry, romance, and political intrigue, as Sir Kenneth becomes embroiled in the power struggles between the various factions of the Crusader army and the Muslim forces led by Saladin. He also falls in love with Edith Plantagenet, the sister of King Richard the Lionheart, who is being held captive by the Saracens.The Talisman is considered one of Scott's most popular and enduring works, and it is notable for its sympathetic portrayal of Saladin, who is often depicted as a villain in Western literature. The novel also explores themes of loyalty, honor, and the complexities of religious conflict, making it a thought-provoking and engaging read for modern audiences.

Wyeth that bring the story to life with vivid detail and color.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
