Recensioner
The Prisoner of Zenda av Anthony Hope
The original Ruritanian romance, and I’m not impressed. The story left me uninterested in the characters and the action was unimpressive.
Rudolf Rassendyll bears a striking resemblance to Rudolf Elphberg who is about to be crowned King of Ruritania. In order to prevent the King's evil half brother Black Michael to claim the throne our hero must take the King's place. As he tries to be a good King he finds himself falling in love with the Princess. He begins to wonder if he really wants the King to come back. The climax is the rescue of the King. A little slow in the middle, it builds to a very exciting conclusion.
Había olvidado cuánto odié este libro, lo cual fue realmente sorprendente teniendo en cuenta lo mucho que disfruté las novelas con espadachines de Dumas y Salgari.
