Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a Restoration comedy that leans heavily on the classics, in particular, by drawing on the works of Shakespeare. It takes place on the island of Crete and opens to the end of a war against Venice, which was lost because of treachery from within. The victor, Antinous, now seeks reward for his heroics but is rebuffed by his father, whose pride cannot allow him to publicly acknowledge his son's accomplishments. Instead, he rails at him and even renounces him. Antinous is torn between love for his father and duty to his country. Meanwhile, Erota, the self-professed most beautiful woman in the world, has taken an interest in Antinous, and despite his obvious aversion to romance, she pursues him relentlessly. In the end, Erota's self-love, coupled with Antinous's preoccupation with familial issues, ensure that neither will find the love they seek. The author deftly skewers the foibles of humanity, especially how pride, vanity, and lust can prevent us from seeing who and what truly deserves our affection.
