We can't always choose the object of our affections, and often, Cupid's arrow causes people to fall in love with the most unsuitable candidates. That's a theme that surfaces time and time again in the collection Frivolous Cupid from British writer Anthony Hope. Bringing together one novella and a series of short stories, this delectable delight will enchant romance fans. (Google Books)
O avtorju
Anthony Hope, born Anthony Hope Hawkins on February 9, 1863, in London, was an English novelist and playwright whose works left an indelible mark on the adventure genre. Best known for his swashbuckling novel "The Prisoner of Zenda" (1894), Hope's storytelling prowess captivated readers with tales of romance, intrigue, and derring-do. A barrister by training, Hope's literary career began as a sideline but quickly became his primary focus after the success of his early works.Hope's narratives often explored themes of identity, duty, and the complexities of political power, resonating with the Victorian and Edwardian audiences who were grappling with the rapid changes of their times. His ability to create vivid, escapist worlds provided a welcome respite from the era's societal pressures and industrialization's relentless march.Controversy touched Hope's life when critics questioned the originality of his plots, particularly the striking similarities between "The Prisoner of Zenda" and earlier works by other authors. Despite this, Hope's influence on contemporary writers is undeniable. His creation of the fictional country of Ruritania inspired a sub-genre known as Ruritanian romance, influencing authors like P.G. Wodehouse and even modern fantasy writers.Hope's revolutionary idea was the seamless blend of high adventure with sharp social commentary, a combination that allowed readers to reflect on their world while being thoroughly entertained. His legacy endures as a testament to the power of imaginative storytelling, making him a pivotal figure in the evolution of popular fiction. Anthony Hope passed away on July 8, 1933, but his adventurous spirit lives on in the pages of his timeless tales.
