This on-line version of Jean Racine's play "Alexander the Great" is a direct copy of my printed book of the same name. It is written with casual readers, theatre productions and students in mind. My adaption is written as a play but in narrative form, rather than in Racine's poetic style. This is an English language version of the original French that keeps faith with Racine's work, but it isn't an exacting translation. If one wants an easy to comprehend English version of Racine's Alexander the Great then this is the book for you. It is not just a good read, but is a valuable introduction to more serious study for English speakers whose French is anything less than first class. The story roughly follows the little that is known about Alexander's invasion of what is modern day Pakistan. This play is not historically accurate, as Racine always adapted characters and events to suit his plots. The original play is a neoclassical tragedy of the very highest quality. Jean Racine was one of a small group of great French playwrights of the 17th Century. He wrote first and foremost for the court of Louis XIV. I write in British English rather than American English, reflecting my background. If one would subsequently like a hard copy, my book is available through Amazon, as ISBN:978-0-9562937-0-1.
