Book Overview
Baltasar: A Biblical Drama, In Four Acts And In Verse (1908) is a play written by Gertrudis Gomez De Avellaneda. The play is set in ancient Babylon and tells the story of King Baltasar, who is hosting a great feast for his subjects. However, during the feast, a mysterious hand appears and writes a message on the wall, foretelling the king's downfall. The king is troubled by the message and seeks the help of the prophet Daniel to interpret it. Through the course of the play, Baltasar confronts his own mortality and the consequences of his actions. The play is written in verse and is a retelling of the biblical story of the writing on the wall in the Book of Daniel. It explores themes of power, mortality, and the consequences of one's actions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
