Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, an extract from a play by the author, explores the power dynamics between humans and gods in an ancient world where Sisyphus, a cunning mortal, outsmarts the gods by trapping Death in a coffin. The author delves into philosophical themes such as the inevitability of death, the limits of human power and the nature of divine authority. The author's writing is full of wit and irony, reflecting the cleverness and audacity of Sisyphus, a character who challenges the established order and raises questions about the nature of existence. In a world where the gods are losing their power and humans are beginning to assert their own authority, this book offers a unique and thought -provoking exploration of the relationships between mortals and immortals, and the nature of power itself.
