Prisoner of Zenda

Prisoner of Zenda

Anthony Hope

Published in 1894, 'The Prisoner of Zenda' by Anthony Hope follows Rudolf Rassendyll, an Englishman who unwittingly becomes embroiled in a royal conspiracy in the fictional European country of Ruritania. Due to his striking resemblance to the imprisoned king, Rassendyll must assume the king's identity to thwart the plans of the king's treacherous brother. This adventure novel is notable for its blend of romance, intrigue, and swashbuckling action, establishing a template for many subsequent works in the genre.
