The Return Of The Druses

The Return of the Druses is a play written by Robert Browning. It was first published in 1843 and is set in 17th century Lebanon. The play revolves around the return of the Druses, a secretive religious group, to their homeland after years of exile. They are led by a charismatic leader named Djabal, who claims to be the rightful ruler of the land. However, his true intentions are unclear and he is met with suspicion and hostility from the ruling Ottoman Turks and the Christian Maronites. The play explores themes of religious conflict, political power, and the struggle for identity and belonging. It is considered one of Browning's most complex and challenging works, with intricate characterizations and a complex plot. The Return of the Druses is a fascinating exploration of the complexities of Middle Eastern politics and religion, and a timeless examination of the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
