The Play of Everyman is a translation of a medieval morality play by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, originally published in 1917. The play tells the story of Everyman, a wealthy man who is suddenly confronted with his own mortality and the judgment of God. As he struggles to come to terms with his impending death, Everyman seeks the help of his friends and family, but finds that they are unable to accompany him on his journey. In the end, Everyman is left alone to face his fate, and must confront the reality of his own life and the choices he has made. The play is a powerful meditation on the transience of life and the importance of living a moral and virtuous existence. It has been widely praised for its poetic language, vivid imagery, and timeless themes, and remains a classic of medieval literature to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
