| Summary |
"Kadonnut prinssi: Historiallinen seikkailuromaani" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a historical adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the mysterious disappearance of Richard, a young English prince, and the intricate plots surrounding his fate, heavily intertwined with politics and personal vendettas of the time. With themes of vengeance and the historical context of England's power struggles, the story sets the stage for adventure and intrigue. At the start of the book, the narrator recounts a long-buried story that revolves around the repercussions of a conflict between King Henry III and Simon de Montfort. This tension sets a dramatic backdrop for the tragic fate of Prince Richard, who is revealed to be the target of nefarious plans by the cunning Sir Jules de Vac. Early interactions show how frustrations and noble ambitions drive characters to drastic actions, creating a sense of urgency and danger that permeates the narrative. The initial action hints at the perilous journey ahead for Richard as he becomes embroiled in a web of conspiracies that threaten not only his life but also the stability of the English monarchy.
