Bag om Amphitryon

Amphitryon is a play written by the French playwright Jean Baptiste Poquelin, who is better known by his stage name Moliere. The play is a comedy that tells the story of Amphitryon, a Theban general who returns home from war to find that his wife, Alcmena, has been unfaithful to him with the god Jupiter. Jupiter has taken on the form of Amphitryon and has seduced Alcmena while her husband was away.The play explores themes of love, jealousy, and deception as Amphitryon tries to uncover the truth about his wife's infidelity. He is aided in his quest by his servant, Sosia, who is also confused by the appearance of his own doppelganger.As the plot unfolds, the audience is treated to a series of comical misunderstandings and mistaken identities. Moliere uses witty dialogue and clever wordplay to create a lighthearted and entertaining play that is still popular with audiences today.Amphitryon was first performed in 1668 and has since been adapted into various forms, including operas and films. It is considered one of Moliere's greatest works and a classic of French literature.SOS. What the deuce of a fellow is this? My heart thrills with clutching fear. But why should I tremble thus? Perhaps the rogue is as much afraid as I am, and talks in this way to hide his fear from me under a feigned audacity. Yes, yes, I will not allow him to think me a goose. If I am not bold, I will try to appear so. Let me seek courage by reason; he is alone, even as I am.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
