Book Overview
Death's Waiting-Room, also known as The Girondists' Last Supper, is a dramatic sketch written by Alpha and published in 1851. The play is set during the French Revolution and follows a group of Girondist leaders who have been sentenced to death by the revolutionary government. The Girondists gather for a final meal together, knowing that they will soon be executed. The play explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the human condition in the face of imminent death. The characters engage in philosophical debates about the nature of life and death, and reflect on their own personal histories and political beliefs. The play is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the human experience, and a powerful commentary on the violence and upheaval of the French Revolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
