Salome is a play written by Oscar Wilde in 1891, which tells the story of Salome, the stepdaughter of King Herod. Salome is infatuated with John the Baptist, who has been imprisoned by her stepfather. She demands that Herod give her John's head on a silver platter as a reward for dancing for him. The play explores themes of desire, power, and revenge, and is known for its eroticism and biblical references. It is considered a classic of English literature and has been adapted into various art forms, including opera, ballet, and film.THE YOUNG SYRIAN: She has a strange look. She is like a little princess who wears a yellow veil, and whose feet are of silver. She is like a princess who has little white doves for feet. One might fancy she was dancing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
