| Summary | "La promessa sposa di Lammermoor, Tomo 3" by Walter Scott is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The narrative is centered around the character of Edgardo, Lord Ravenswood, who grapples with deep feelings of anger and sorrow as he is forced to leave his ancestral home, exacerbated by the rigid and disdainful attitude of Lady Ashton towards him. The novel delves into themes of love, honor, and supernatural elements deeply embedded in Scottish lore. At the start of the story, Edgardo has just received an unwelcoming note from Lady Ashton, compelling him to leave Ravenswood Castle immediately. Despite his fury, he hesitates to entirely shut the door on potential reconciliation, particularly influenced by the good intentions of his relatives, including the Marquis of Athol. On his way, he reflects on the fateful fountain of Sirena, a local superstition linked to his family's tragic past. Shortly thereafter, he encounters the ghostly figure of an old woman, Alisa, who eludes him and raises his suspicions of the supernatural. The grim atmosphere intensifies as Edgardo learns of Alisa's imminent death, setting a poignant stage for the conflicts surrounding love, loss, and familial honor that unfold in the narrative.
