Descrizione Sophocles' Oedipus the King
Among the Greek tragedies, none is better known than the story of Oedipus, the king of Thebes, who sets out to uncover the sin for which his people are being punished, only to discover that it is he who has unwittingly committed unspeakable acts. Oedipus's slow uncovering of the truth of his birth, marriage, and kingship, and the dreadful punishments he and his unfortunate mother and wife exact upon themselves are masterfully retold here. Original illustrations silk-screened on handmade paper accompany the story in this unique, hand-crafted book--a treasured addition to the libraries of those who love the arts of ancient Greece and the art of line, contemporary bookmaking.
