Publisher's Synopsis
""A False Saint: A Play In Three Acts"" is a dramatic work written by Francois De Curel and first published in 1916. The play tells the story of a man named Julien, who is believed by many to be a saint due to his supposed miraculous abilities. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Julien's powers may not be as divine as they seem. The play is set in a small French village, where Julien lives with his mother and sister. He is revered by the villagers for his ability to heal the sick and perform other miracles. However, when a young woman named Jeanne falls in love with him, she begins to question whether Julien's powers are truly holy or if they are simply a result of his own willpower and determination. As the play progresses, tensions rise between Julien and the villagers, who begin to suspect that he may be using his supposed powers for personal gain. Eventually, Julien's true nature is revealed, and the play ends on a tragic note as he is forced to confront the consequences of his actions. Overall, ""A False Saint"" is a thought-provoking work that explores themes of faith, power, and deception. It is a compelling drama that will leave readers questioning the nature of miracles and the true motivations of those who claim to possess them.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
