The School for Honor or The Chance of War is a comedic play in five acts written by German playwright Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and originally published in 1799. The play follows the story of two young men, Adolph and Octavio, who are sent to a school to learn the art of war and honor. However, their education takes an unexpected turn when they fall in love with two women, Amelia and Eugenia, who are also attending the school. The play explores themes of love, honor, and the absurdity of war through witty dialogue and humorous situations. With its focus on the folly of war and the importance of love and human connection, The School for Honor or The Chance of War is a timeless classic of comedic literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
