Lysistrata by Aristophanes, published by Easton Press in 1983 and illustrated by Pablo Picasso. Condition is fine, factory sealed and never opened. No damage whatsoever.
Aristophanes was an ancient Greek playwright whose comedies remain among the most influential works of classical literature. First performed in 411 BCE, Lysistrata is one of his best-known plays and follows a woman who organizes a bold campaign to end the Peloponnesian War. She persuades the women of Greece to withhold intimacy from their husbands until the men agree to make peace. Through sharp satire, outrageous humor, and social commentary, Aristophanes explores the absurdity of war, political ambition, and the power of collective action. The play has remained remarkably relevant for more than two thousand years and continues to be performed around the world.
This Easton Press edition is especially notable for its illustrations by Pablo Picasso, one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. The pairing of Aristophanes' ancient comedy with Picasso's distinctive artistic vision makes this a particularly interesting collectible edition, appealing to both literary and art enthusiasts.
A wonderful addition for collectors of Easton Press editions, classical Greek literature, Pablo Picasso artwork, or beautifully illustrated works of literary history.
