Deirdre of the Sorrows is a play written by John M. Synge, an Irish playwright, poet, and writer. The play is based on an ancient Irish legend about the tragic love story of Deirdre, a beautiful and intelligent young woman, and Naoise, a brave and handsome warrior. Deirdre is betrothed to the aging King Conchobar, but she falls deeply in love with Naoise and they elope to Scotland with his two brothers. However, their happiness is short-lived as King Conchobar hunts them down and ultimately brings about their tragic end. The play explores themes of love, fate, betrayal, and the consequences of defying societal norms. Synge's writing is known for its poetic language, vivid imagery, and exploration of Irish folklore and mythology. Deirdre of the Sorrows is considered one of his most accomplished works and a masterpiece of Irish drama.I'll give you a riddle, Deirdre: Why isn't my father as ugly and old as Conchubor? You've no answer? . . . . It's because Naisi killed him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
