Summary: "La promessa sposa di Lammermoor, Tomo 1" by Walter Scott is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. Set in Scotland, the story introduces themes of family, ambition, and conflict, centering primarily on Lord Ravenswood and his struggles against the usurpation of his family's estate by Lord Asthon. The narrative depicts a rich tapestry of societal issues and personal vendettas, hinting at the intertwined fates of the characters amidst the backdrop of Scottish history. The opening of the novel establishes a somber atmosphere as it recounts the history of Ravenswood Castle and the fall of the Ravenswood family. The last lord, Allano Ravenswood, faces decline and resentment as he loses his lands to the new owner, Ser Guglielmo Asthon. After a tumultuous funeral marked by interruptions from authorities, Edgardo, the last heir of Ravenswood, swears vengeance against the Asthon family, igniting the central conflict of the story.
