Summary:
From the Publisher
Once upon a time came a story so full of high adventure
and true love that it became an instant classic and won the hearts of
millions. Now in hardcover in America for the first time since 1973, this
special edition of The Princess Bride is a true keepsake for devoted fans
as well as those lucky enough to discover it for the first time. What
reader can forget or resist such colorful characters as
Westley . . . handsome farm boy who risks death and much, much worse for
the woman he loves; Inigo . . . the Spanish swordsman who lives only to
avenge his father's death; Fezzik . . . the Turk, the gentlest giant ever
to have uprooted a tree with his bare hands; Vizzini . . . the evil
Sicilian, with a mind so keen he's foiled by his own perfect logic; Prince
Humperdinck . . . the eviler ruler of Guilder, who has an equally
insatiable thirst for war and the beauteous Buttercup; Count Rugen . . .
the evilest man of all, who thrives on the excruciating pain of others;
Miracle Max. . . the King's ex-Miracle Man, who can raise the dead (kind
of); The Dread Pirate Roberts . . . supreme looter and plunderer of the
high seas; and, of course, Buttercup . . . the princess bride, the most
perfect, beautiful woman in the history of the world.
S. Morgenstern's timeless tale—discovered and wonderfully abridged by
William Goldman—pits country against country, good against evil, love
against hate. From the Cliffs of Insanity through the Fire Swamp and down
into the Zoo of Death, this incredible journey and brilliant tale is
peppered with strange beasties monstrous and gentle, and memorable
surprises both terrible and sublime.
