Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins, better known as Anthony Hope (9 February 1863 – 8 July 1933), was an English novelist and playwright.[1] He was a prolific writer, especially of adventure novels but he is remembered best for only two books: The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) and its sequel Rupert of Hentzau (1898). These works, "minor classics" of English literature, are set in the contemporaneous fictional country of Ruritania and spawned the genre known as Ruritanian romance.[2] Zenda has inspired many adaptations, most notably the 1937 Hollywood movie of the same name.

This is the story of a bad boy. Well, not such a very bad, but a pretty bad boy; and I ought to know, for I am, or rather I was, that boy myself. Lest the title should mislead the reader, I hasten to assure him here that I have no dark confessions to make. I call my story the story of a bad boy, partly to distinguish myself from those faultless young gentlemen who generally figure in narratives of this kind, and partly because I really was not a cherub. I may truthfully say I was an amiable, impulsive lad, blessed with fine digestive powers, and no hypocrite. I didn't want to be an angel and with the angels stand; I didn't think the missionary tracts presented to me by the Rev. Wibird Hawkins were half so nice as Robinson Crusoe; and I didn't send my little pocket-money to the natives of the Feejee Islands, but spent it royally in peppermint-drops and taffy candy. In short, I was a real human boy, such as you may meet anywhere in New England, and no more like the impossible boy in a storybook than a sound orange is like one that has been sucked dry. But let us begin at the beginning. [more]

Nur mit größter Mühe ist der ebenso elegante wie abgefeimte Schurke Rupert von Hentzau der Rache seines edlen Gegenspielers Rudolf Rassendyll entgangen. Nun schlägt der Erzbösewicht erneut zu – ein Liebesbrief von Königin Flavia an Rassendyll ist in seine Hände gelangt und bietet ihm die Gelegenheit zur Erpressung... Doch als Rassendyll, der dem regierenden König von Ruritanien wie ein Zwilling ähnelt, von der Intrige des stets lächelnden Teufels Rupert erfährt, eilt er sofort aus England herbei, um der Geliebten zur Seite zu stehen. Kann Rupert seiner gerechten Strafe auch diesmal wieder entgehen? Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins, besser bekannt als Anthony Hope, war ein englischer Schriftsteller und Dramatiker. Obwohl er ein überaus produktiver Autor war, erinnert man sich heute hauptsächlich wegen der Romane Der Gefangene von Zenda (1894) und Die Rückkehr nach Zenda (1898) an ihn. Beide Werke, die als kleine Klassiker der englischen Literatur gelten, spielen in dem fiktiven Staat Ruritanien und haben viele Epigonen inspiriert, vor allem in Hollywood. Die Fortsetzung des mehrfach verfilmten Fantasy-Abenteuer-Klassikers Der Gefangene von Zenda! Ins Deutsche übersetzt von Ronald M. Hahn. [more]

DER AMERIKANER – Prescott Sisters 4 Romantisch und raubeinig, provokant und sinnlich.Glamour, roter Teppich und Blitzlichtgewitter. Tessa Prescotts Leben ist perfekt. Sie würde es mit nichts und niemandem eintauschen. Nie hätte sie damit gerechnet, dass ein sehr attraktiver, aber äußerst wortkarger Cowboy ihr die unfreiwillige Reise nach Kansas zur Hölle machen würde. Derek Hawkins ist ebenso abweisend wie heiß. Obwohl sie sich plötzlich inmitten eines Blizzards befindet, brennt ihr Herz auf einmal lichterloh … Mir wird ganz anders unter seinem Blick, ich weiche ihm jedoch nicht aus. Männern wie ihm darf man nicht zeigen, wie sehr sie einen einschüchtern. „Ich glaube, der Hengst ist eine Nummer zu groß für dich, Süße.“ Ich schnappe nach Luft. Was bildet der Kerl sich eigentlich ein? Fünf Schwestern – eine Familie und die ganz große Liebe mal fünf.In den fünf Bänden wird jede der fünf Schwestern unter die Haube gebracht – zur Freude von ihrer Granny, einer englischen Lady der alten Schule.Die Liebesgeschichten sind in sich abgeschlossen. Größtenteils spielt die Reihe in Shanghai, gelegentliche Abstecher in andere Länder sind bei den Prescotts und ihren Mr. Rights nicht ausgeschlossen. Wer es lieber chronologisch mag, dem empfehle ich für den größten Lesegenuss folgende Reihenfolge:Band 1 Der MaskenballBand 2 Die EntführungBand 3 Der MeisterdiebBand 4 Der AmerikanerBand 5 Der Bodyguard [more]
