Synopsis

A witty caper on a cliff, where a top-secret scheme meets rivering romance and farce in a Greek monastery. A young American doctor and a failed treasure hunter bring their plans to a monastery high on Meteora’s rock, only to be outwitted by a wily monk, a devoted valet, and a marriage on the high seas of influence and virtue. The result is a comedy of disguises, bluff, and bold escapes that keeps the tension light and the laughs coming.

This edition plants you in the middle of a comic plot that blends mistaken identity, ransom plots, and rogue charm. The action pivots on power plays, improvised tricks, and the characters’ push-pull of greed, loyalty, and romance, all staged with brisk rhythm and playful dialogue. Expect rapid entrances, clever reversals, and a finale that plays out like a cleverly staged game of cat and mouse.

- A high-stakes, good-natured farce set in an atmospheric Greek monastery
- Quick-witted banter, zany ransom schemes, and bold escapes
- A mix of romance, deception, and comic rivalry among a colorful ensemble
- Theatrical pacing designed for lively stage performance and strong character chemistry

Ideal for readers who enjoy old‑fashioned stage humor, quick reversals, and character-driven farce with a touch of adventure.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
