About this book
The book is presented as an abridged version of a fictional book by S. Morgenstern, and Goldman includes commentary throughout the story that tells the story of a young woman named Buttercup and her true love, Westley
Buttercup is engaged to the cruel Prince Humperdinck, but she is still in love with Westley, who disappeared years ago. When she is kidnapped by a group of criminals, including a vengeful Spaniard named Inigo Montoya and a giant named Fezzik, Westley comes to her rescue.
The book is a mix of adventure, romance, and humor, with memorable characters and a clever narrative structure. It also explores themes of true love, revenge, and the power of storytelling. Overall, "The Princess Bride" is a timeless classic that has captivated readers of all ages, which has been adapted into a popular film, directed by Rob Reiner.Summary
William Goldman's modern fantasy classic is a simple, exceptional story about quests—for riches, revenge, power, and, of course, true love—that's thrilling and timeless.
Anyone who lived through the 1980s may find it impossible—inconceivable, even—to equate The Princess Bride with anything other than the sweet, celluloid romance of Westley and Buttercup, but the film is only a fraction of the ingenious storytelling you'll find in these pages. Rich in character and satire, the novel is set in 1941 and framed cleverly as an “abridged” retelling of a centuries-old tale set in the fabled country of Florin that's home to “Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passions.”
