Giafar: A Tragedy is a play written by Andreas Bard in 1907. The play is set in Baghdad during the reign of the Abbasid Caliphate and follows the story of Giafar, a high-ranking official in the court of the Caliph. Giafar is a man of integrity and honesty, but he is also deeply in love with the Caliph's wife, Zobeide. When the Caliph discovers their affair, he orders Giafar's execution. The play explores themes of love, loyalty, and betrayal, as well as the corrupting influence of power. Bard's writing is known for its lyrical and poetic language, and Giafar: A Tragedy is no exception. The play has been praised for its powerful depiction of the human condition and its exploration of complex moral dilemmas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
