Publisher's Synopsis
"The Tragedy of Man" is a significant dramatic poem exploring the human condition through a sweeping historical and philosophical lens. Journeying across various epochs and civilizations, from the Garden of Eden to future utopian societies, Adam and Lucifer embark on a quest to understand the meaning of life and humanity's place in the universe. This epic work delves into themes of knowledge, free will, progress, and the inherent contradictions within the human spirit.
Originally written in Hungarian, this English translation makes Madách's masterpiece accessible to a broader audience, inviting readers to contemplate profound questions about existence, morality, and the cyclical nature of history. Its enduring appeal lies in its poetic beauty and its continued relevance to contemporary philosophical debates.
