It is the enduring, universal story of the just man against the powerful, the virtually single-handed struggle of one man against all. It is a swashbuckling melodrama in which nobility of spirit triumphs over nobility of class, a popular saga in which the pure heart comes up against the forces of Evil, where innocence weeps in the corridors of power, where the chaste love of a young girl wins out over treachery and intrigue.
It is a tale of days of yore, full of duels and pageantry, common folk and palaces.
It is a tale of today in its ferocious satire on trading and speculation and the blind greed of the new riches they spawn.
