Читать книгу The Prisoner of Zenda - Anthony Hope - Страница 1

Rudolf Rassendyll is young, rich, and comes from an old English family. But he has the dark red hair and the long straight nose of the royal family of Ruritania – the result of a little family ‘accident’ many years before.

Rudolf decides to visit Ruritania for the coronation of the new king. He arrives in the town of Zenda and goes for a quiet walk in the forest. By the next morning he is in the middle of adventures beyond his wildest dreams. With his new friends, Captain Sapt and Fritz von Tarlenheim, he is making plans to rescue the prisoner in the Castle of Zenda. Soon he is fighting the King’s enemies, Black Michael the Duke, and Rupert of Hentzau – and falling in love with the King’s cousin, the lovely Princess Flavia.

And the King … But who is the King of Ruritania?
