Everyman Hardback - 2010

Everyman is a morality play that was written in the late 15th century by an anonymous author. The play tells the story of Everyman, a wealthy and successful man who is suddenly confronted by Death. Realizing that he must face judgment for his life on Earth, Everyman sets out on a journey to find someone who can accompany him on his final journey. Along the way, he encounters various characters who represent different aspects of his life, including his friends, family, and possessions. Ultimately, Everyman must face the reality of his own mortality and come to terms with the choices he has made in his life. The play is a powerful meditation on the nature of life, death, and the human condition, and it continues to be studied and performed today as a classic of medieval literature.Everyman.
