Bartholomeus Las Casas: Treurspel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781245406758)

Bartholomeus Las Casas is an 18th-century tragedy by Johannes Nomsz. This historical drama explores the life and times of Bartolomé de las Casas, the 16th-century Spanish Dominican friar, writer, and social reformer. Las Casas became the first resident Bishop of Chiapas, and a vocal advocate for the rights of Native Americans.

Nomsz's play delves into the complex moral and political landscape of the Spanish colonization of the Americas, offering a dramatic portrayal of Las Casas's struggle against the injustices inflicted upon the indigenous populations. This play provides valuable insight into the historical context of the period and the ethical dilemmas faced by those who sought to challenge the established order. "Bartholomeus Las Casas" remains a compelling work for students of history, literature, and ethics, and for anyone interested in the early history of human rights.
