About this title

Synopsis

The Dramatic Works of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing is a collection of four plays written by the German playwright and philosopher. The first play, Miss Sara Sampson, follows the story of a young woman who is seduced by a wealthy man and subsequently abandoned. The second play, Philotas, is a tragedy about a young prince who is falsely accused of treason and executed. The third play, Emilia Galotti, is a tragedy that explores the themes of love, power, and morality. The final play, Nathan the Wise, is a philosophical drama that promotes religious tolerance and understanding. Published in 1878, this collection of plays showcases Lessing's talent for writing thought-provoking and socially relevant works of drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
