Description
Count Antonio is referred to as a man of great heredity, relinquished his crown as a Prince, averts his duties and obligations, making nothing to useless laws, and for him he is still a noble aristocrat but he is regarded by his people as having the qualities of an insurgent and a bandit. Although he was remarked indifferently in the opinion of many people, they still care about his cognizance, and also with Ambrose the Franciscan, who have compiled earnestly all the historical accounts and records of the count in the city or from the statements of the older people, and loving what he is doing. A must read for all lovers in joy and pain, and princes may use this for reference as a study for their gain and for cautioning. Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins, or simply Anthony Hope, was a British author and dramatist. He was an outstanding writer of adventure themed books but he is mostly recognized for only two novels: The Prisoner of Zenda published in 1894 and Rupert of Hentzau, its sequel which was published in 1898. His writings which are also described as minor classics of the English literature are set in the modern fictional country of Ruritania and was made known as the genre of Ruritanian love story. There were many adaptations of Zenda, such as the highly momentous 1937 Hollywood film of the same title. Anthony Hope went to study at St. John’s School, Leatherhead, Marlborough College and Balliol College in Oxford. He was trained as an attorney and a barrister, and was called to the Bar by the Middle Temple in 1887. He was under the care of the future Liberal Prime Minister H H Asquith, who saw his potential as a barrister and was dismayed when Hope decided to have a career in writing. He wrote short articles in periodicals and when he wrote his first novel, A Man of Mark, he was subjected to recourse to a self-publishing press.
