Gender-swapped Adventure Classics: The Prisoner of Zenda (Translated) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

• All characters gender-swapped to provide a unique gendered perspective on classic children's literature • Minor additions and embellishments sensitively added to help the gender-swapped version of the story read more clearly, whilst respecting the original work. • Introduction by Eve Sinning The classic adventure story The Prisoner of Zenda is here presented in a unique new format with every character gender-swapped. The original text of Anthony Hope’s much-loved story of intrigue, mistaken identity and adventure is reproduced in its entirety; with some very minor embellishments and details added to help the gender-swapped version of the story read more clearly. The aim is to present an alternative new reading of this exciting adventure classic where the protagonist Rudolf Rassendyll is now Rosalie Rassendyll, and other principal characters such as the King of Ruritania, Black Michael, Colonel Sapt and Rupert Hentzau all become female. Meanwhile, the female characters of the story such as the beautiful Princess Flavia and Antoinette de Mauban are gender swapped to become male instead. This surprising, subversive and entertaining gender-swapped classic forms part of the “Gender-Swapped Adventure Classics” series, in which the genders of characters in well-known adventure stories are switched with minimum rewriting to preserve the beautiful original texts.
