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.”

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never read it. As a child, I was read the "good parts" version of S. Morgenstern's classic tale of true love and high adventure, and that is what I give to you. It is the story of Buttercup, the most beautiful woman in a hundred years, who loves and loses her Westley. It is the story of a kidnapping, a chase, and a daring rescue by a mysterious man in black. This timeless adventure is a story of fencing and fighting, of torture and poison, of hate and revenge. It is a tale of giants and hunters, of brave men and bad men, of escapes and miracles. And, of course, it is a story of true love. N° de réf. du vendeur CIN0156035154VG
