The Ambassador: A Comedy In Four Acts is a play written by John Oliver Hobbes and first published in 1898. The play is set in the fictional European country of Marsovia and revolves around the arrival of a new ambassador, Lord Saint Orbyn, who is tasked with negotiating a treaty between Marsovia and a neighboring country.Lord Saint Orbyn is a charming and witty character who quickly becomes popular with the Marsovian people, but his negotiations with the Marsovian government are complicated by the presence of a rival ambassador, Baroness Sternhold, who is working to undermine his efforts.As the negotiations progress, Lord Saint Orbyn becomes embroiled in a series of romantic entanglements with various women, including the beautiful and intelligent Princess Eugenia, the flirtatious Countess of Lyonesse, and the scheming Lady Plinlimmon.Throughout the play, Hobbes satirizes the political and social conventions of the time, poking fun at the absurdities of diplomatic protocol and the hypocrisy of the upper classes. The Ambassador: A Comedy In Four Acts is a witty and entertaining play that provides a humorous glimpse into the world of European diplomacy in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights.

Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
