Cover: Hall. keywords: Signet Classic Paperback England Literature. FROM THE PUBLISHER - A perilous impersonation, a forbidden romance, a bold rescue, and a battle to the death against a malevolent foe in his ancient lair - these form the key elements in one of the greatest and most irresistible novels of adventure ever written. The time is the golden sunset of the Victorian era. The place is the beautifully imagined mythical kingdom of Ruritania. The hero is a young, high - spirited English gentleman, Rudolf Rassendyll, who suddenly is called upon to take the place of the abducted heir to the Ruritanian throne, and who finds himself engaged to a beautiful princess whom he can love only while living a lie. From the moment Rudolf first realizes he is the virtual twin of the future King of Ruritania, to his climactic struggle with the sinister Grand Duke Michael in the fortresslike castle of Zenda, the breakneck pace and taut suspense never slacken. Here in all its vivid emotion and unflagging action is the ultimate experience for those who treasure reading as a sublime and supreme escape into a world of danger, daring and noble deeds. inventory #29086 ISBN: 045150724x., 0<
