Rupert of Hentzau (Classic Illustrated Edition) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

* Beautifully illustrated with atmospheric paintings by renowned artists, Rupert of Hentzau is the gripping sequel to The Prisoner of Zenda. * The story commences three years after the conclusion of The Prisoner of Zenda, and deals with the same fictional country somewhere in Germanic Middle Europe, the kingdom of Ruritania. Most of the same characters recur: Rudolf Elphberg, the dissolute absolute monarch of Ruritania; Rudolf Rassendyll, the English gentleman who had acted as his political decoy, being his distant cousin and look alike; Flavia, the princess, now queen; Rupert of Hentzau, the dashing well-born villain; and Fritz von Tarlenheim, the loyal courtier. * Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's readers as it would have been when first published, the novel is one of the great works of English literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world. * This meticulous digital edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text and is enhanced with images of classic works of art carefully selected by our team of professional editors.
