Sinopse

Saving history can be interpreted as a mission. The goal is to save great stories from oblivion by retelling them, now using appropriate language, for new generations. Passing on the legacy of the great classics of world literature to young readers has become an urgent matter, which has been taken on by the Save The Story project. The result is a personal narrative—by each author—of a common and universal story, alongside drawings by experienced and talented illustrators. At the end of each copy, a text contextualizes the importance of the stories and mentions their original authors. The first Italian historical novel, The Betrothed was inspired by Walter Scott's Ivanhoe. The novel's themes include heroism, the power of love, and the hypocritical nature of human beings. Adapted for the stage in famous operas and also for film, the story tells of a wedding that will be prevented by a powerful and evil man intent on taking revenge on his bride, who refuses to give in to his whims, all within a historical context very well explained by Umberto Eco in this edition. One of the most important contemporary intellectuals, Umberto Eco is the author of, among others, the bestsellers *The Name of the Rose* and *The Prague Cemetery*. The latter has sold over 130,000 copies in Brazil alone.
