Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Wings Over Europe' is a pioneering three-act play that explores the profound ethical and political consequences of scientific discovery. The drama centers on Francis Lightfoot, a brilliant young physicist who has unlocked the secret of atomic energy-a power capable of providing infinite wealth or total destruction. Presenting his findings to the British Cabinet, Lightfoot demands a radical transformation of society, insisting on the end of war and the establishment of a global utopia. The play masterfully depicts the tension between visionary idealism and the pragmatic, often cynical, nature of political power. As the ministers grapple with the implications of this world-altering technology, 'Wings Over Europe' poses timeless questions about whether humanity is morally prepared for its own inventions. This thought-provoking piece remains a significant work of speculative drama, predating the actual atomic age and offering a prescient look at the intersection of science, government, and global security. It is a compelling work for readers interested in the history of science fiction, political theater, and the moral responsibilities of the scientific community.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

The author is an English poet, actor and theatre director.…
