Iphigenia in Tauris

Více o knize

Set in 1794, this work showcases Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's remarkable ability to reinterpret classic literature. His adaptation of Euripides's Iphigenia in Tauris highlights the transformative power of a pure woman who confronts the chaos and moral decay of the pagan world, epitomized by the troubled House of Atreus and the tyrannical King Thoas. Goethe's exploration of themes such as healing and redemption offers a profound commentary on humanity's capacity for change amidst darkness.
