La Reĝo de la Montoj

Summary

Edmond About's comic adventure in Gaston Moch's 1909 Esperanto translation. In 1856 a young German botanist collecting plants in the hills outside Athens is captured, along with two English ladies, by Hadgi-Stavros, the polished and businesslike king of the mountain brigands. Told as a story within a story, it makes fun of ransom, diplomacy and romantic ideas about Greek banditry alike. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.

Written by Claude Opus 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
