Sisyphus: An Operatic Fable is a book written by Robert Calverley Trevelyan in 1908. The book is a retelling of the myth of Sisyphus, the king who was punished by the gods to roll a boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down again for all eternity. In this version, Sisyphus is portrayed as a tragic hero who struggles with his fate and the cruelty of the gods. The book is written in the form of an opera, with lyrics and music included. It is a unique and imaginative retelling of the myth, with themes of fate, free will, and the struggle for meaning and purpose in life. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in mythology, opera, or the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
