About This Item

Pennsylvania: The Franklin Library, 1978. Limited Edition. Octavo. 484 pages, signed by the author. Sartre, in his plays, describes the stage as "a different imaginary realm". This edition also has a special introduction by the author where he shows how both No Exit and The Flies had meanings that met the censorship of the Third Reich. No Exit was revived shortly after the Allied invasion. One of the fine works that show the interplay between acting and philosophy. In The Condemned of Altona he deals with both the horror of the death camps and the issues of God. A fine bright copy bound in red leather lettered and decorated in gilt, all edges gilt.

Synopsis

Five Plays is the eighth book by Anglo-Irish fantasy writer Lord Dunsany, considered a major influence on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula K. Le Guin and others. It was first published in hardcover by Grant Richards in February, 1914, and has been reprinted a number of times since. The book is actually Dunsany's sixth major work, two of his preceding books having been chapbooks or selections from his other works.
