Kismet: An Arabian Night In Three Acts is a play written by Edward Knoblauch and first published in 1912. The play is set in ancient Baghdad and tells the story of Hajj, a poor poet who falls in love with the beautiful and wealthy Lalume. However, Lalume is already married to the powerful Wazir and Hajj's love seems doomed. The play is a romantic comedy with elements of drama and adventure. It explores themes of love, fate, and the power of destiny. The characters are vividly drawn and the dialogue is rich and poetic, capturing the exotic atmosphere of ancient Arabia. Kismet has been adapted for film, television, and stage numerous times since its original publication. It is considered a classic of early 20th-century theatre and remains popular with audiences today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
