Publisher's Synopsis
This compelling drama, written by Percy Bysshe Shelley's close friend and biographer, Thomas Medwin, tells the story of an immortal wanderer who has lived for centuries among humanity. Through his encounters with people from different walks of life, Ahasuerus struggles to find meaning in his existence and come to terms with his eternal loneliness. Medwin's poetic language and vivid characterizations make this play a timeless meditation on the human condition.
