The Faithful

The Faithful: A Tragedy In Three Acts is a play written by John Masefield and first published in 1915. The play tells the story of a group of sailors who are stranded on a desert island after their ship is wrecked. They are forced to confront their own mortality and the nature of faith as they struggle to survive. The play is divided into three acts, each depicting a different stage in the sailors' journey. In the first act, the sailors are optimistic and hopeful, believing that they will be rescued. In the second act, their situation becomes more dire as they begin to run out of food and water. In the third act, they are forced to confront the reality of their situation and the possibility that they may never be rescued. The play explores themes of faith, hope, and the human condition in the face of adversity. It is a powerful and moving work that has been praised for its lyrical language and vivid imagery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
