Synopsis

Everyman is a medieval morality play that was first performed in the late 15th century. The play tells the story of Everyman, a wealthy and successful man who is suddenly called upon by Death to make a reckoning of his life. Everyman is forced to confront the fact that he has lived a life of sin and must now face judgment for his actions. Along the way, he is abandoned by many of his friends and family members, who are unwilling to accompany him on his journey to the afterlife. Everyman eventually turns to Good Deeds, who agrees to accompany him to the final judgment. The play is a powerful allegory for the Christian belief in the importance of leading a virtuous life and preparing for the afterlife. It is also a poignant reminder of the inevitability of death and the need to live each day with purpose and meaning.Everyman. Gramercy, my frendes and kynnesmen kynde. Now shall I shewe you the grefe of my mynde: I was commaunded by a messenger, That is a hye kynges chefe offycer. He bad me go a pylgrymage, to my payne, And I knowe well I shall neuer come agayne.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

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.
