Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compelling and engaging deep dive into the satirical masterpiece, 'Absalom and Achitophel' by an unknown author. The author's deft use of language and metrical artistry is placed within the context of 17th-century political intrigue and biblical allegory to create a timely and resonant critique of power, rebellion, and redemption. The author explores the fraught relationship between King David (Charles II) and his ambitious son Absalom (the Duke of Monmouth). The poem delves into the themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the corrupting influence of political ambition. The author's insights into human nature and the dynamics of power remain relevant today, making this book a valuable and enjoyable read for anyone interested in literature, history, or political commentary. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
