The Clouds

(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform April 21, 2017)
The Clouds is a Greek comedy play written by the celebrated playwright Aristophanes. A lampooning of intellectual fashions in classical Athens, it was originally produced at the City Dionysia in 423 BC and was not as well received as the author had hoped, coming last of the three plays competing at the festival that year. It was revised between 420 and 417 BC and was thereafter circulated in manuscript form. The Clouds represents a departure from the main themes of Aristophanes' early plays - Athenian politics, the Peloponnesian War and the need for peace with Sparta. The original production of The Clouds in 423 BC came at a time when Athens was looking forward to a period of peace.
"The Clouds" has a beautiful glossy cover and a blank page for the dedication.
