Iphigénie En Aulide: Tragédie En Cinq Actes Et En Vers... [French]

By Jean Baptiste Racine and Jean Racine

Iphig nie en Aulide is a five-act tragedy in verse by Jean Racine, based on Euripides' Iphigenia in Aulis. The play centers on Agamemnon's agonizing decision to sacrifice his daughter, Iphigenia, to appease the goddess Diana and allow the Greek fleet to sail to Troy.

Set against the backdrop of the Trojan War, Racine's masterful use of language and profound exploration of duty, love, and sacrifice create a powerful and enduring work of French classical theatre. This edition offers readers the opportunity to experience the beauty and intensity of Racine's verse.
