ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Princess Bride" by S. Morgenstern, abridged by William Goldman, is a metafictional tale of love and adventure. The story follows Buttercup and Westley, two lovers who are separated by fate, and must overcome numerous obstacles to be reunited. Their journey is intertwined with other characters like Inigo Montoya, who seeks revenge for his father's death, and Fezzik, a giant who becomes a loyal friend. The narrative blends elements of romance, sword fights, and encounters with fantastical creatures. It explores themes of justice, loyalty, and the power of true love while also satirizing monarchy. The story is presented as an abridged version of a classic tale, with interruptions by Goldman, creating a unique narrative style.
