Produktinformationen zu „Phroso (ePub)“
Anthony Hope's 'Phroso: A Romance' is an intriguing narrative set against the backdrop of romantic adventure, deftly combining elements of political intrigue and personal valor. With an acute sense of character development and vivid descriptions, Hope relishes in expounding the idyllic yet tumultuous world his protagonists navigate. The novel bears the distinct hallmarks of Victorian literature - an intricate plot, heightened emotions, and a touch of the exotic. Readers are whisked away to a Grecian isle, where the titular character, Phroso, and the protagonist grapple with love and sovereignty. The novel's restoration by DigiCat Publishing sees it re-enter the literary circuit with the care it duly commands; its relevance in world literature as a romance punctuated by adventure and suspense remains undiminished.
Anthony Hope, born in 1863, is renowned primarily for 'The Prisoner of Zenda', which established him as a master of the romantic adventure genre. 'Phroso' emerges from the same fountain of imaginative prowess, perhaps reflecting the author's fascination with duality - both in identity and ethical paradigms. An alumnus of Oxford and a barrister by trade, Hope's foray into literature seems an ode to escapism. His narrative style often reveals a yearning for intriguing locales, which overshadow mundane Victorian society. 'Phroso's' creation might stem from Hope's persistent pursuit to meld romanticism with the thrill intrinsic to fictive constitutional crises.
'Readers with a penchant for classic adventures will find in 'Phroso' an inviting sojourn into the world of high stakes and higher passions. The republishing of this work by DigiCat Publishing serves as a testament to Hope's lasting impression on the romantic adventure canon. His adept combination of political and personal drama ensures that this tale not only captivates the imagination but also provokes intellectual curiosity. 'Phroso' is recommended for those who appreciate historical contexts wrapped in the fervor of romance and the unyielding spirit of adventure, a nexus where Hope's literary talent truly shines.

Autoren-Porträt von Anthony Hope
Anthony Hope, born Anthony Hope Hawkins on February 9, 1863, in London, England, was a prolific writer best known for his adventure novels and, most famously, 'The Prisoner of Zenda' (1894). Hope studied at Marlborough and Balliol College, Oxford, and initially pursued a legal career before turning his full attention to writing following the success of his novels. He was a quintessential storyteller of the late Victorian period, characterized by a blend of romance, adventure, and political intrigue. His literary style often involved the common theme of an Englishman abroad, entangled in extraordinary circumstances and moral dilemmas, reflecting Hope's interest in the affairs of nationhood and social identity. Another notable work among his extensive repertoire is 'Phroso' (1897), a tale set on a fictional Greek island that encapsulates Hope's signature fusion of action-packed narrative with romantic elements. His works, while resonating with the imperialistic sentiments of his time, also captured the imagination of readers with their escapist settings and swashbuckling heroes. Hope's literary contributions extended beyond his adventure tales to include plays and social comedies, but it is his romances, encapsulating the drama and elegance of the fin de siècle era, that secured his legacy. He passed away on July 8, 1933, leaving behind a legacy of work that continues to be enjoyed by those who revel in the romance and complexities of his created worlds.
