Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Racine's Athaliah (A Tragedy Founded Upon Holy Scripture) and Phaedra' presents two of the most celebrated works by Jean Racine, a preeminent master of French neoclassical tragedy. In 'Athaliah', Racine draws from the biblical accounts in the Books of Kings and Chronicles to craft a powerful drama centered on the vengeful Queen Athaliah and the preservation of the Davidic line. This tragedy explores profound themes of divine providence, religious zeal, and the weight of ancestral destiny, standing as a pinnacle of 17th-century sacred theater.Accompanying it is 'Phaedra', widely considered Racine's psychological masterpiece. Based on Greek mythology, the play depicts the internal torment of Phaedra as she struggles with her forbidden and destructive passion for her stepson, Hippolytus. Through its rigorous structure and intense emotional depth, 'Phaedra' examines the conflict between human will and the inevitability of fate. Translated by Robert Bruce Boswell, these plays capture the elegance and rhythmic intensity of Racine's verse. Together, they represent the dual pillars of his literary legacy: his masterful adaptation of scriptural narrative and his unrivaled ability to depict the complexities of human desire and guilt within the confines of classical form.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
