The Princess Bride
The 1987 movie directed by Rob Reiner and starring Fred Savage, Robin Wright, and others vividly portrayed this story of true love, high adventure, pirates, princesses, giants, miracles, fencing, and a terrifying mix of exotic animals. The novel, however, displays even more levels of clever narrative on top of its depth in character and satire. Set in the legendary nation of Florin, which is said to be home to “Beasts of all natures and descriptions,” this 1941 story is skillfully presented as a “abridged” version of a centuries-old narrative. Pain. Death. Strong man. brave men. most powerful men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passions.”
