Pharaoh: A Dramatic Poem is a literary work written by Samuel Spink and published in 1848. The book is a poetic retelling of the biblical story of the Pharaoh of Egypt, who is known for enslaving the Israelites and refusing to let them go despite the plagues that were sent upon Egypt. The book is divided into five acts, each of which depicts a different stage of the story. Act I introduces the Pharaoh and sets the stage for the conflict between him and Moses, who is sent by God to demand the release of the Israelites. Act II portrays the plagues that God sends upon Egypt, including the turning of the Nile to blood, the infestation of frogs, and the death of the firstborn. Act III depicts the confrontation between Moses and the Pharaoh, as Moses demands the release of the Israelites and the Pharaoh stubbornly refuses. Act IV shows the aftermath of the final plague, which finally convinces the Pharaoh to let the Israelites go. Finally, Act V depicts the Israelites' escape from Egypt and their journey to the Promised Land.Throughout the book, Spink uses vivid imagery and poetic language to bring the story to life. He also includes themes of power, faith, and redemption, making the book a thought-provoking and engaging read. Overall, Pharaoh: A Dramatic Poem is a classic work of literature that provides a unique perspective on one of the most well-known stories in the Bible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
