It is set in Jerusalem during the Crusades and follows the story of Nathan, a wise Jewish merchant, and his interactions with a Christian knight named Templar and a Muslim leader named Saladin. The play explores themes of religious tolerance, wisdom, and the nature of truth. Nathan is known for his parable of the three rings, which illustrates the idea that no one religion has a monopoly on truth. The play is considered a classic of German literature and has been adapted for the stage and screen numerous times. This edition of the play was published in 1901 and includes an introduction and notes by the translator, William Taylor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Rese�a del editor

German of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing of Nathan the Wise. one of the authors most widely known dramatic compositions. The story is an entertaining one and holds the readers interest to the close, although the ending is somewhat disappointing. Nathan, a wealthy Jew, returning home from a business trip, finds that his adopted daughter, Recha, has been rescued from death by a young Knight Templar, who had been captured by the Sultan Salad in, and whose life had been spared by reason of a strong resemblance to a deceased brother of the Sultan. In the brief meeting between the two young people each had fallen in love with the other. The Templar, knowing that Recha is the daughter of a Jew, with that common prejudice for the race, studiously avoids her, and refuses to yield to the entreaties of her companion, Daja, to come and receive thanks for his heroic services.
