The King of the Mountains Paperback - 2024

by Edmond about


From the publisher

"The King of the Mountains" is a novel written by Edmond About, a French author known for his satirical and political works. First published in 1856, the novel is set in the rugged mountains of Albania and follows the story of a charismatic and enigmatic figure known as the "King of the Mountains."


The protagonist, Abdullah, rises to power as a bandit chief in the lawless region of Albania, where he commands the loyalty of his followers through a

combination of fear and charisma. Despite his criminal activities, Abdullah is portrayed as a complex and multi-dimensional character, capable of acts of both violence and compassion.


As the story unfolds, Abdullah becomes embroiled in a series of intrigues and power struggles, both within his own band of outlaws and with the ruling authorities. Along the way, he encounters a diverse cast of characters, including a young Frenchman who becomes fascinated by Abdullah's way of life and a beautiful woman who challenges his beliefs and values.


Through the character of Abdullah, About explores themes of power, authority, and the nature of leadership. The novel also offers a vivid depiction of life in the Albanian mountains, with its rugged landscapes, fierce tribal loyalties, and timeless customs.


"The King of the Mountains" is a gripping tale of adventure, intrigue, and moral ambiguity, offering readers a glimpse into a world where the line between right and wrong is often blurred and where the pursuit of power can lead to unexpected consequences. With its richly drawn characters and evocative setting, the novel continues to captivate readers with its timeless themes and compelling storytelling.
