Aristophanes in an Hour (Playwrights in an Hour)
Description:
BOOK SYNOPSIS
During the Peloponnesian war, Aristophanes watched as the people of Attica, living on the outermost edge of Athens, suffered and died from the raids and invasions that came with six years of warfare. Frustrated, but infusing a touch of levity in everything he did, Aristophanes put his pen to paper to write the world's very first anti-war comedy, Acharnians. Thereafter, Aristophanes continued writing plays that foreshadowed the decline of Athens.
Setting the playwright in context to his personal life, social, historical and political events, other writers of influence, and more, you will quickly gain a deep understanding of Aristophanes and the plays he wrote. Read Aristophanes in an Hour and experience his plays like never before. Know the playwright, love the play!
