Lucrezia Borgia: A Tragedy is a play written by the renowned French author Victor Hugo in 1847. The play is set in Renaissance Italy and follows the story of Lucrezia Borgia, the daughter of Pope Alexander VI, who is notorious for her alleged involvement in poisonings and other crimes. The play portrays Lucrezia as a victim of her father's political ambitions, as she is forced to marry for political gain and is ultimately betrayed by those closest to her. The plot revolves around Lucrezia's attempts to escape her father's control and find happiness, while also dealing with the consequences of her family's actions. Hugo's play is known for its dramatic and emotional portrayal of Lucrezia, as well as its exploration of themes such as power, corruption, and the role of women in society. The play has been adapted numerous times for the stage and screen, and is considered a classic of French literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
