Edmond About's classic masterpiece of whimsical humor, romantic actionand wild surroundings, appeals to all classes and ages of readers. Thelawless, happy-go-lucky bands of the Grecian mountains, bargaining withprisoners and government officials in a kind of uncivilized traffic,affords the uncertainty in adventure which makes delightful reading forboy or man.
Hadji Stavros is the never-to-be-forgotten representative of the rightto get without limits. To him the only injustice or error in life wasin being weak, in which any unselfishness was weakness. And yet, heallowed his love for his daughter to overthrow his system of life. To beentertained by "The King of the Mountains" as a dramatic story is notenough, it is a profound study of character and life.
