{"product_id":"phaedra-alex-struik-9781480068698","title":"Phaedra","description":"Phaedra (originally Phèdre et Hippolyte) is a dramatic tragedy in five acts written in alexandrine verse by Jean Racine, first performed in 1677. In Phaedra, Racine chose once more a subject from Greek mythology, already treated by Greek and Roman tragic poets, notably by Euripides in Hippolytus and Seneca. In the absence of her royal husband Theseus, Phaedra ends by declaring her love to Hippolytus, Theseus' son from a previous marriage. Jean Racine; baptismal name Jean-Baptiste Racine (22 December 1639 - 21 April 1699), was a French dramatist, one of the three great playwrights of 17th-century France (along with Molière and Corneille), and an important literary figure in the Western tradition. Racine was primarily a tragedian, producing classically inspired plays such as Phèdre, Andromaque, and Athalie, a comedy, Les Plaideurs, and a muted tragedy, Esther, for the young.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Struik,Jean Baptiste Racine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1480068691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781480068698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.19d","brand":"Alex Struik","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442280509695,"sku":"9781480068698","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58692d2f-c022-49fc-bd4c-f46089af5305.jpg?v=1777196333","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/phaedra-alex-struik-9781480068698","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
