William Goldman’s modern fantasy classic is a simple, exceptional story about quests—for riches, revenge, power, and, of course, true love—that’s thrilling and timeless.

Anyone who lived through the 1980s may find it impossible—inconceivable, even—to equate The Princess Bride with anything other than the sweet, celluloid romance of Westley and Buttercup, but the film is only a fraction of the ingenious storytelling you’ll find in these pages. Rich in character and satire, the novel is set in 1941 and framed cleverly as an “abridged” retelling of a centuries-old tale set in the fabled country of Florin that’s home to “Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passions.”

La bella Buttercup jura amor eterno a Westley, que parte en busca de fortuna y es asesinado por unos piratas. La doncella, obligada, se promete al príncipe Humperdinck de Florin, un bellaco al cual sólo le interesa la caza. El (More) mejor esgrimista, el hombre más inteligente y el más fuerte del mundo son contratados por los enemigos de Florin para raptar a Buttercup. En la huida, sufren la incansable persecución de un encapuchado que los retará uno a uno en su propio terreno. En La princesa prometida, William Goldman ha reunido todos los elementos clásicos de los grandes relatos ambientados en un mundo de fantasía medieval, imprimiéndoles su fino sentido del humor. Sus personajes representan a todos los héroes y villanos de nuestros cuentos de infancia y rinden un brillante homenaje a la novela de aventuras. La presente edición se completa con los primeros capítulos que el autor escribió para continuar esta novela, una de las más emblemáticas de todos los tiempos.
