Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'On Baile's Strand' is a play by William Butler Yeats that delves into themes of honor, tradition, and the tragic consequences of fate. Set in a great hall by the sea near Dundalgan, the play opens with Barach, a fool, and Fintain, a blind man, discussing the arrival of a mysterious young man from Aoife's country. This young man, who remains unnamed, is revealed to be the son of the legendary warrior Cuchullain, though neither he nor Cuchullain is aware of their relationship. The young man has been sent by his mother, Aoife, to confront Cuchullain, fulfilling a prophecy that he would one day kill his father. As the play unfolds, Cuchullain, unaware of the young man's identity, is caught in a web of destiny and duty. The young kings and warriors around Cuchullain admire his strength and prowess, yet they are unaware of the impending tragedy. The play explores the tension between personal honor and the inexorable pull of fate, as Cuchullain is ultimately forced to confront the young man in combat. The narrative is steeped in Irish mythology, with references to legendary figures and supernatural elements, creating a rich tapestry that examines the complexities of human emotion and the inevitability of destiny. Yeats uses poetic language and symbolic imagery to convey the deep cultural and historical roots of the story, making 'On Baile's Strand' a poignant reflection on the human condition and the timeless struggle between free will and fate.…
