À propos de l'auteur
Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins, better known by his pen name Anthony Hope, was an eminent English novelist and playwright of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born on February 9, 1863, in London, Hope studied at the illustrious Marlborough College and Balliol College, Oxford before practicing law. However, his passion for writing soon led him to a literary career. His most famous work, 'The Prisoner of Zenda' (1894), captured the imaginations of readers with its romantic adventure in the fictional realm of Ruritania, a theme that became a hallmark of the Ruritanian romance genre. Following the success of this novel, he penned 'A Man of Mark' (1890), which also showcases his talent for crafting engaging narratives that blend political intrigue with a light-hearted tone. Throughout his career, Hope authored over 50 works of fiction, ranging from novels to short stories, highlighting his versatile writing style. His works frequently addressed themes of social dislocation and moral dilemmas, often set against a backdrop of vividly described imaginary countries or situation of social and political upheaval. Despite his productivity, none of his subsequent books achieved the towering success of 'The Prisoner of Zenda.' Hope was knighted in 1918 for his contribution to the war effort through his role as chairman of the War Savings Committee. He died on July 8, 1933, leaving behind a rich legacy in the canon of English literature.
