Welcome to the tumultuous and timeless realm of Greek tragedy, where the human soul is laid bare in all its raw vulnerability and indomitable strength. Penguin Classics presents an extraordinary collection that brings together four masterpieces: Cinna, The Misanthrope, Andromache, and Phaedra.
Cinna:
Corneille's gripping political drama plunges us into the heart of ancient Rome, where the fate of an empire hangs in the balance. Cinna, a young conspirator, grapples with the moral complexities of betrayal and the weight of his actions. Amidst the treachery and power struggles, Corneille explores the profound themes of loyalty, ambition, and forgiveness.
The Misanthrope:
Molière's satirical masterpiece skewers the superficiality and hypocrisy of 17th-century Parisian society. Alceste, the titular misanthrope, is a man consumed by his disgust for the world's follies. Through his biting wit and acerbic observations, Molière unveils the absurdities of human behavior and the eternal struggle between idealism and reality.
Andromache:
Racine's heart-wrenching tragedy transports us to the aftermath of the Trojan War. Andromache, the captive wife of the slain Hector, is torn between her loyalty to her dead husband and her desire for her new master. Racine's exquisite language and psychological depth explore the complexities of love, duty, and the enduring power of grief.
Phaedra:
Seneca's haunting rendition of the Phaedra myth is a tale of forbidden love and self-destructive passion. Phaedra, the queen of Athens, is consumed by an illicit desire for her stepson, Hippolytus. Seneca's exploration of the irrationality of human emotions and the devastating consequences of unchecked desire remains as relevant today as it was in ancient Greece.
Through these unforgettable characters and their poignant struggles, Penguin Classics' Cinna, The Misanthrope, Andromache, Phaedra offers an invaluable window into the human condition.
