Publisher's Synopsis
L�������Aiglon: A Play In Six Acts is a dramatic play written by French playwright Edmond Rostand. The play is set in the early 19th century and tells the story of Napoleon Bonaparte�������s son, also known as the Duke of Reichstadt or the Eaglet, who was exiled to Austria after his father�������s defeat at Waterloo. The play explores the Eaglet�������s struggle to find his own identity and place in the world, torn between his loyalty to his father and his love for his adoptive country, Austria. The play is divided into six acts and features a cast of characters including the Eaglet, his mother Marie Louise, his tutor Metternich, and various other historical figures. L�������Aiglon is a powerful exploration of identity, loyalty, and the human condition, and is considered one of Rostand�������s greatest works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
