Produktbeschreibung
In "Sophy of Kravonia," Anthony Hope weaves an enthralling tale that combines elements of romance, adventure, and political intrigue against the backdrop of an imaginary Balkan kingdom. The narrative unfolds with a deftly constructed plot, showcasing Hope's hallmark style rich in vivid descriptions and lively dialogue. The book is emblematic of the late Victorian fascination with exotic locales and the complexities of love amid societal expectations, capturing both whimsy and depth throughout its pages. Hope expertly juxtaposes the personal growth of its titular heroine, Sophy, with broader themes of duty, desire, and the unpredictable nature of fate. Anthony Hope, renowned for his mastery of the adventure genre, is best known for his earlier work "The Prisoner of Zenda," which set a precedent for romanticized depictions of royal escapades. His writing often reflects his interests in politics and human psychology, elements that are seamlessly interwoven into "Sophy of Kravonia." Through the character of Sophy, Hope explores the constraints placed upon women in a patriarchal society, drawing from the social climate of his time to present a nuanced portrayal of female autonomy. Readers seeking a captivating narrative rich in character development and adventure will find "Sophy of Kravonia" a delightful read. Hope'Äôs insightful commentary on love and societal norms remains strikingly relevant, making this book a timeless exploration of the human experience. Perfect for fans of classic literature and those interested in gender dynamics, this novel invites readers to immerse themselves in a charming yet profound literary journey.

Autorenporträt
Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins, as Anthony Hope (9 February 1863 - 8 July 1933), was a British novelist and playwright. He was a prolific writer, particularly of adventure stories, yet he is best known for only two works: The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) and its sequel Rupert of Hentzau (1898). These writings, considered "minor classics" of English literature, are set in the contemporaneous fictional kingdom of Ruritania and gave rise to the Ruritanian romance genre, which includes books set in fictional European places comparable to the novels. Zenda has inspired numerous adaptations, most notably the 1937 Hollywood film of the same name and the 1952 remake. Hope attended St John's School, Leatherhead, Marlborough College, and Balliol College, Oxford. In an intellectually distinguished career at Oxford, he earned first-class honours in Classical Moderations (Literis Graecis et Latinis) in 1882 and Literae Humaniores ('Greats') in 1885. Hope studied law and became a barrister in 1887, when the Middle Temple called him to the Bar. He studied under the future Liberal Prime Minister H. H. Asquith, who saw him as a potential barrister but was disillusioned by his decision to pursue a career in writing.
