Athalie: Tragédie, Tirée De L'écriture Sainte (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781179550930)

"Athalie," a tragic drama by Jean Racine, is a profound exploration of faith, power, and redemption set against the backdrop of the Old Testament. Racine, a master of French classical tragedy, draws inspiration from the biblical story of Queen Athaliah, who usurped the throne of Judah and sought to eradicate the line of David.

The play delves into the moral and spiritual conflicts within its characters, examining the consequences of ambition and the enduring strength of religious conviction. Racine's elegant verse and dramatic intensity create a compelling narrative that resonates with timeless themes. "Athalie" remains a significant work in French literature, celebrated for its psychological depth, historical context, and artistic merit.
