The King's Stratagem, also known as The Pearl of Poland, is a tragedy in five acts that was first published in 1873 by an anonymous author. The play is set in Poland and revolves around the story of King Casimir III, who is faced with a difficult decision when his son, Prince Casimir, falls in love with a commoner named Jadwiga. Despite the objections of the nobility, the King decides to allow the marriage to take place, as he sees it as a way to unite the country and bring peace to the land.However, the marriage is not without its challenges, as the nobles conspire against the young couple and try to undermine the King's authority. As the plot unfolds, the audience is taken on a journey of love, betrayal, and political intrigue, as the characters struggle to navigate the complex web of relationships and loyalties that define their world.The King's Stratagem is a powerful and moving work that explores themes of love, loyalty, and the struggle for power in a time of political upheaval. It is a timeless tale that continues to resonate with audiences today, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Poland, or in the art of tragedy in general.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
