Goat Song

Goat Song is a novel by Franz Werfel that tells the story of a young shepherd named Yussuf who lives in the mountains of Lebanon. Yussuf is deeply connected to his goats, which he considers his family, and spends his days tending to them and singing to them. One day, he meets a beautiful young woman named Miriam and falls in love with her. However, their love is forbidden by their respective religions, and they must navigate the obstacles of their cultural differences and the disapproval of their families. As Yussuf struggles to balance his love for Miriam with his loyalty to his family and his goats, he is forced to confront the harsh realities of life in the mountains and the limitations of his own beliefs. The novel is a poignant exploration of love, faith, and the complexities of human relationships, set against the backdrop of the rugged and beautiful Lebanese countryside.THIS 58 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Theatre Guild Anthology V1, by Franz Werfel.
