"The Prisoner of Zenda" by Anthony Hope is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows Rudolf Rassendyll, an Englishman who, due to an uncanny resemblance to the King of Ruritania, becomes embroiled in royal intrigues and dangerous politics when he travels to Ruritania to attend the King’s coronation. The opening of the novel introduces Rudolf Rassendyll, who is depicted as a somewhat carefree character, frustrated by criticisms regarding his lack of ambition and social status. During a dinner with his brother and sister-in-law, he learns about his distant lineage connected to the royal family of Ruritania. This revelation piques his interest in the kingdom, which coincides with the announcement of the King’s upcoming coronation. As his journey to Ruritania unfolds, Rudolf’s thoughts are filled with both apprehension and excitement. The tone is light, interspersed with wit and familial banter, setting the stage for the dramatic events that are to follow as Rudolf’s journey takes a crucial turn towards unexpected adventure and political intrigue.
