Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a verse drama focusing on the themes of sacrifice, grief, and the power of love in the face of death. It follows the story of Admetus, a Thessalian king granted extraordinary longevity by the god Apollo. When Admetus is later diagnosed with an incurable illness, Apollo offers him a reprieve on one condition: someone must volunteer to die in his place. Admetus's elderly parents refuse to make this sacrifice, but his young wife Alcestis readily agrees to do so. The drama unfolds with a chorus of Pheraean elders as they mourn the impending loss of their queen. Heracles, a close friend of Admetus, arrives at the palace to find the atmosphere of grief. After learning the reason, Heracles resolves to grapple with Death himself and save Alcestis from her fate. Through his strength, he overcomes the personification of death and restores Alcestis to her husband. This book is a powerful exploration of human resilience, the depth of love, and the nature of mortality.
