Messidor: Drame Lyrique En Quatre Actes Et Cinq Tableaux (1897) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164828471)

Messidor is a dramatic and lyrical play in four acts and five tableaux, written by the famous French author Emile Zola and published in 1897. The play is set in the late 19th century and revolves around the lives of two young lovers, Claire and Dominique, who are caught up in the tumultuous events of the French Revolution.The play is divided into four acts, each of which takes place in a different location and focuses on a different aspect of the story. The first act is set in a rural village, where Claire and Dominique live and work on a farm. The second act takes place in Paris, where the couple becomes involved in the revolutionary movement. The third act is set in a prison, where Dominique is being held captive for his political beliefs. The final act takes place in the countryside, where Claire and Dominique are reunited and their love is put to the ultimate test.Throughout the play, Zola explores themes of love, revolution, and the struggle for freedom and justice. He uses powerful imagery and poetic language to bring the story to life and to convey the emotions and experiences of his characters. Messidor is a powerful and thought-provoking work of literature that continues to be read and studied by scholars and readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
