Sobre este artículo
The fictional Latin American republic of this novel is Olancho, and the presentation suggests the influence of Hawkins upon Davis.
The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) by Anthony Hope Hawkins is the defining (and best) example of the Ruritanian novel of intrigue in small fictional European principalities, involving double-crossing, power grabs, and forbidden romance at royal courts. Richard Harding Davis took up the form with his "Graustark" series; Edgar Rice Burroughs and John Buchan also wrote in this tradition.
Soldiers of Fortune was the most successful of the novels of Richard Harding Davis. In 1899, 114,000 copies were in print; in 1902, 135,000. It was also made into a successful play. BAL 4525 note (this issue not mentioned); Quinby 14 (not mentioning this issue)
Sinopsis
"It is so good of you to come early," said Mrs. Porter, as Alice Langham entered the drawing-room. "I want to ask a favor of you. I'm sure you won't mind. I would ask one of the debutantes, except that they're always so cross if one puts them next to men they don't know and who can't help them, and so I thought I'd just ask you, you're so good-natured. You don't mind, do you?"
