Anthony Hope's swashbuckling romance transports his English gentleman hero, Rudolf Rassendyll, from a comfortable life in London to fast-moving adventures in Ruritania, a mythical land steeped in political intrigue. Rassendyll bears a striking resemblance to Rudolf Elphberg who is about to be crowned King of Ruritania. When the rival to the throne, Black Michael of Strelsau, attempts to seize power by imprisoning Elphberg in the Castle of Zenda, Rassendyll is obliged to impersonate the King to uphold the rightful sovereignty and ensure political stability. Rassendyll endures a trial of strength in his encounters with the notorious Rupert of Hentzau, and a test of a different sort as he grows to love the Princess Flavia. Five times filmed, The Prisoner of Zenda has been deservedly popular as a classic of romance and adventure since its publication in 1894.

The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope For his sister-in-law, Lady Rose Burlesdon, Rudolf Rassendyll is a great disappointment. First of all, he is twenty-nine years old and has no useful occupation. Second, it bears such a striking resemblance to the Elphbergs, the ruling house of Ruritania, that for Rose it is a constant reminder of an old scandal involving her husband's family. More than a hundred years earlier, a prince from the country of Ruritania had visited England and became involved with the wife of one of the Rassendyll men. A boy was born who had the red hair and the big, straight nose of the Elphbergs. Since that unfortunate event, five or six descendants of the English lady and the Ruritanian prince have had the characteristic red nose and hair of their royal ancestor. Rose considers Rudolf's red hair and big nose to be a disgrace for that reason. Rassendyll himself, however, is unconcerned about his resemblance to the Ruritan royal family. A new king will be crowned in that country in a few weeks, and Rassendyll decides to travel to Ruritania for the coronation to get a closer look at his unclaimed relatives. Realizing that his brother and sister-in-law will try to prevent him from undertaking the journey if they know of his plans, he tells them that he is going to take a tour of Tyrol. After leaving England, your first stop is Paris, where you learn more about the affairs of the country you will visit. The new king, also named Rudolf, has a half brother, Michael, Duke of Strelsau. Michael would have liked to become king, and it is hinted that he will try to prevent Rudolf's coronation. Rassendyll also learns that there is a beautiful lady, Antoinette de Mauban, who loves Michael and has her favor. She also travels to Ruritania for the coronation. When he arrives in Ruritania and finds the capital city crowded, Rassendyll stays in Zenda, a small town about fifty miles from the capital, and prepares to travel to the capital by train for the coronation. Zenda is part of Michael's domain; His hunting lodge is only a few miles from the inn where Rassendyll is staying. Rassendyll too ...

This premium quality large print edition includes the complete, unabridged text of Anthony Hope's classic tale in a freshly edited and newly typeset edition. With a generous 6" x 9" page size, this large print edition is printed on heavyweight 60# bright white paper with a fully laminated cover featuring an original full color design, and includes footnoted annotations, added sparingly, to aid the modern reader with particularly obscure terms and usages. The Prisoner of Zenda follows the adventures of Rudolf Rassendyll, an honorable but idle descendant of a rumored "wrong side of the blanket" lineage resulting from a dalliance between a visiting King of Ruritania and a very married English countess. Faced with the prospect of actually commencing employment as a diplomatic attache, Rudolf plans to spend time vacationing on the continent, and decides on a visit to Ruritania. A chance encounter with the Crown Prince on the eve of his coronation as king reveals that the two, while not identical, are enough alike to fool most people. A fortunate coincidence, because political intrigue waylays the Prince, the situation demands that the coronation take place as scheduled, and Rassendyll is persuaded by the Prince's aides to stand in for the ceremony. But the deception is immediately complicated by the kidnapping of the real king by his enemies, led by his half-brother, Prince Michael, and the romantic attachment which springs up between Rassendyll and Princess Flavia, the real king's intended bride. Written with a broad, but dry, sense of humor, the story twists and turns through the maneuverings of the opposing factions, a fast-paced adventure story and poignant romance with chases, narrow escapes, duels, deceptions, and unexpected complications. Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins (1863-1933), who published during his lifetime as "Anthony Hope," was an English novelist and playwright. Called to the bar by the Middle Temple in 1887, he gave up what was by all accounts a very promising legal career to pursue writing. The author of over thirty novels and several plays, he enjoyed a wide popular following in his time, but is known today primarily for only two of his books: The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) and Rupert of Hentzau (1898), a true sequel. Sometimes identified as a "minor classic" of English literature, "The Prisoner of Zenda" received high praise from other writers such as Robert Louis Stevenson and A.E.W. Mason and was a phenomenal success when published, inspiring an entire genre in adventure fiction, the "Ruritanian Romance." The high-water mark of Hope's career, the novel has been adapted for film many times, and has also been produced on the stage.
