The King’s Stratagem: Or The Pearl of Poland, A Tragedy in Five Acts is a play written by an anonymous author and published in 1873. The play is set in Poland and revolves around the conflict between two brothers, Prince Casimir and Prince Ladislaus, who are vying for the throne. The play’s title refers to the King’s plan to use the Pearl of Poland, a valuable gem, as a means of resolving the conflict between the two brothers. However, the plan ultimately leads to tragedy as the brothers’ rivalry intensifies and they both become consumed by their desire for power. The play explores themes of ambition, betrayal, and the corrupting influence of power. The King’s Stratagem is a classic example of 19th-century melodrama and is notable for its intricate plot and vivid characters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
