A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"Sacrifice" is a play is based on the tradition of worshipping the Hindus Goddess Kali. It's a lyrical play written in blank verse. The dramatic conflict in the play is provided by meaningless superstition of religious rituals and blind allegiance to age old customs on one side, and the eternal truth of humanism and instinctive knowledge of eternal good on the other. The scenes of these plays are laid in India with native characters. The underlying motive of each is the seeking of the real amid the unreal, whether love as it appeared to the awaked senses of the ascetic; or the vision of the soul, piercing the shams of the priest to the perception of Deity.
