Overview
Electra: A Tragedy in One Act is a play written by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, originally published in German in 1903. The play is based on the ancient Greek myth of Electra, the daughter of King Agamemnon and Queen Clytemnestra, who seeks revenge for her father's murder by her mother and her mother's lover, Aegisthus. The play takes place in the aftermath of Agamemnon's death, with Electra and her brother Orestes plotting their revenge against their mother and Aegisthus. The play explores themes of justice, revenge, and the complexities of family relationships. Hofmannsthal's adaptation of the Electra myth is known for its poetic language and psychological depth. The play has been widely performed and adapted, and is considered a classic of modernist drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
