Meer over het boek

Set in the fictional European country of Ruritania, the novels by Anthony Hope, particularly The Prisoner of Zenda and its sequel Rupert of Hentzau, are seminal works in the Ruritanian romance genre. These adventure tales feature themes of identity, political intrigue, and romance, capturing the imagination of readers and inspiring numerous adaptations, including a notable 1937 film. Despite his prolific output of 32 works, Hope is primarily celebrated for these two "minor classics" that continue to influence literature and cinema.
