More Description🤴 The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope is a nineteenth-century action and thriller novel about the abduction of the king-to-be of fictional Ruritania.
🤴 The novel begins just before the coronation of the king. Without this coronation, he will not legally and indeed be king because of the inner workings of the government in Ruritania, so it is stressed that the coronation must happen successfully. The king, however, is drugged and kidnapped so that he can't attend the ceremony, and he is locked away in the small town of Zenda.
🤴 While he is imprisoned, the plot proceeds forward to have Michael claim the throne as the next rightful heir to the monarchy. To prevent Michael from succeeding on the throne, Rudolph's advisers persuade the king's English cousin, Rudolf Rassendyll, to impersonate him and take the crown in his stead, and then have them switch it back to the rightful king. Will they succeed in this plan?
