Ein Edelstein in Walter Scotts Spätwerk - Zu seinem 250. Geburtstag am 15. August 2021Das hierzulande lange zu Unrecht vergessene Buch, das zu Walter Scotts besten Werken gehört, wird zum ersten Mal seit 175 Jahren völlig neu übersetzt und beweist die Meisterschaft und hohe Sprachkunst Scotts. Nach einem wechselvollen Leben beschließt der Schotte Chrystal Croftangry, es zum Schriftsteller zu bringen. Dass er bereits an die sechzig Jahre alt ist, mindert sein Bestreben keineswegs. Croftangry beschreibt seine Geschichte und seine Motivation, berichtet von den Freuden und Leiden des Erzählens und von der Begeisterung für die Welt der Stoffe und Geschichten. Hoffen und Bangen eines angehenden Schriftstellers werden mit Witz und Ironie eindrücklich geschildert, und immer wieder macht sich Scott über sich selbst lustig. "Chrystal Croftangrys Geschichte" zeigt Scott in Hochform, weshalb sich das Buch unter Kennern stets besonderer Beliebtheit erfreute. "Der Stil der Erzählungen ist exzellent", schrieb Scotts erster Biograf George Lockhart, und Autor John Buchan hielt fest: "Croftangry ist Scott selbst, und einige der Texte sind das Bewegendste, das Scott je geschrieben hat."
