Synopsis
Prince Otto is a novel written by Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1885. The story is set in the fictional European country of Gr�����newald, where Prince Otto is the ruler. The prince is a weak and indecisive ruler, who is constantly manipulated by his ambitious and scheming advisors. He is also unhappy in his personal life, as he is engaged to a woman he does not love.The novel follows Prince Otto's journey as he tries to break free from the constraints of his advisors and find true love. Along the way, he meets a young woman named Seraphina, who captures his heart. However, their relationship is complicated by the political turmoil in Gr�����newald and the machinations of the prince's advisors.As the plot unfolds, Prince Otto realizes that he must take control of his own life and make difficult decisions for the good of his country and his own happiness. The novel explores themes of love, power, and personal growth, and is considered one of Stevenson's most complex and nuanced works.Overall, Prince Otto is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of European royalty and the challenges they faced in the late 19th century.It was past eight at night before his toil was rewarded and he issued at last out of the forest on the firm white high-road. It lay downhill before him, with a sweeping eastward trend, faintly bright between the thickets; and Otto paused and gazed upon it. So it ran, league after league, still joining others, to the farthest ends of Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
