Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
In "Rupert of Hentzau," Anthony Hope deftly continues the tantalizing saga begun in his earlier work, "The Prisoner of Zenda." This novel combines romance, political intrigue, and adventure in a style characteristic of late 19th-century Victorian literature, showcasing Hope's mastery of vivid characterization and witty dialogue. Set against the backdrop of the fictional European kingdom of Ruritania, the narrative intricately weaves themes of loyalty and betrayal as the enigmatic Rupert, a roguish figure, exerts his influence over the throne, threatening the delicate balance of power and love. Anthony Hope, an English novelist and playwright, is notable for his contributions to adventure fiction. His experiences in a rapidly changing society, coupled with an interest in the European political landscape, inspired his works heavily influenced by Romanticism and sensationalism. "Rupert of Hentzau" reflects his fascination with the duality of character, as Rupert epitomizes the charming rogue, embodying both villainy and charisma. Hope's background in law and theatre further equipped him with the narrative skills to create engaging plots that reflect the complexities of human motivations. This compelling sequel is a must-read for anyone captivated by tales of swashbuckling heroism and moral ambiguity. Fans of classic adventure literature will appreciate Hope's intricate plotting and the nuanced exploration of loyalty amidst treachery. For those who revel in romantic escapades and the allure of royal intrigues, "Rupert of Hentzau" stands as an enduring testament to Anthony Hope's narrative prowess.
Giới thiệu tác giả
Anthony Hope, born Anthony Hope Hawkins on February 9, 1863, in London, England, was a prolific writer whose name became synonymous with the adventure and romance genres of literature in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Educated at Marlborough and Balliol College, Oxford, Hope initially pursued a career in law before his writing gained public acclaim. His most famous work, 'The Prisoner of Zenda' (1894), firmly established him in the literary world, and he became better known by his pen name thereafter. 'Rupert of Hentzau' (1898) is the well-received sequel to his earlier masterpiece, continuing the swashbuckling and political intrigue of the fictional kingdom of Ruritania. Hope's writing is characterized by a mixture of wit, romance, and political commentary, and while he wrote over thirty novels, his early successes overshadowed his later works. His contribution to the genre of adventure novels has been noted for its influence on subsequent writers and for popularizing the concept of the 'Ruritanian romance', which inspired many adaptations in various forms of media. Hope continued to write until his passing on July 8, 1933, leaving behind a legacy encapsulated by daring escapades and courtly love.
