За автора
Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins, better known by his pen name Anthony Hope, was an illustrious English novelist and playwright who gained immense popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born on February 9, 1863, in London, Hope was educated at Marlborough and Balliol College, Oxford, later pursuing a career in law before venturing successfully into literature (Wolff, 1987). His literary style is characterized by a blend of adventure, romance, and political intrigue, elements vividly realized in his most celebrated work, 'The Prisoner of Zenda' (1894). This novel, alongside its sequel 'Rupert of Hentzau' (1898), established Hope's reputation, positioning him as a master of the adventure genre. 'Captain Dieppe' (1899) is another testament to Hope's skillful storytelling, offering readers a spirited mix of heroism and humor set against the backdrop of European political machinations. Hope's writings, while reflective of the imperial attitudes of his time, remain distinguished for their wit and swashbuckling appeal. His contributions to English literature were acknowledged with a knighthood in 1918. Hope continued to write until his death on July 8, 1933, leaving behind a legacy encapsulated in a prolific output of over thirty novels, short stories, and plays (Cox, 1987).
