Reseña 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.
