Publisher's Synopsis
Tamburlaine The Great is a play written by Christopher Marlowe and first performed in the late 16th century. It is a historical drama that tells the story of the rise of the Mongol conqueror, Tamburlaine, from a humble shepherd to a powerful ruler who conquers vast territories across the Middle East and Asia. The play is divided into two parts, each consisting of five acts, and is known for its epic scope, powerful language, and dramatic action. Tamburlaine is portrayed as a fierce and ruthless warrior who is driven by his ambition to conquer and rule. He is also depicted as a complex character, capable of great cruelty and violence, but also of deep love and loyalty. The play explores themes such as power, ambition, love, and loyalty, and is considered one of Marlowe'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.
