Olimpie: Tragédie... [French]

Olimpie is a tragic play by Voltaire, first performed in 1762. Set in ancient Ephesus, the play explores themes of love, duty, and sacrifice against a backdrop of political intrigue. The story revolves around the noble but ill-fated relationship between Olimpie and Cassandre, and the conflicts that arise from their forbidden love. Voltaire's masterful use of language and dramatic tension makes "Olimpie" a compelling exploration of human passions and the challenges of moral choices. This edition offers readers the opportunity to experience the power and beauty of Voltaire's dramatic vision, showcasing his enduring contribution to French literature and theater.
