Synopsis

Explore a sweeping historical tragedy of power, love, and betrayal set in a sprawling empire. This edition gathers Joseph Cradock’s The Czar, an early 19th‑century drama that blends court intrigue with intimate loyalty, as rulers navigate ambition, revolt, and the price of mercy.

This play offers a vivid portrait of a monarchy in crisis. Expect grand rhetoric, shifting allegiances, and dramatic scenes that move from lavish court assemblies to tense confrontations with ambassadors. The text foregrounds Ottokesa, Catharine, and the Czar, weaving political scheming with personal vows, sacrifice, and a dramatic reckoning that risks everything for the throne and for those they love.

• Sharp, era‑driven dialogue that highlights ambition, duty, and the pull of family ties.


• Large‑scale scenes of diplomacy, rebellion, and royal ritual, plus personal triumphs and losses.


• Character arcs that test loyalty, power, and the cost of ruling a vast empire.


• Historical flavor blended with theatrical spectacle, including epilogue and preface context.

Ideal for readers of classic historical drama and fans of 18th–19th century tragedy who enjoy political plots, romantic tension, and dramatic finales.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
