More about the book

Set against the backdrop of Malta, the play explores the life of Barabas, a wealthy Jew who faces persecution from the Christian Governor. Initially victimized and stripped of his wealth, Barabas embarks on a darkly comedic and violent quest for revenge, employing bizarre methods like poisoned flowers. The work delves into themes of anti-Semitism and societal hypocrisy, prompting comparisons with Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. This edition features a comprehensive introduction, detailed commentary, and resources for deeper understanding, catering to both scholars and modern readers.
