Publisher's Synopsis
""Alzire, Ou Les Americains: Tragedie"" is a play written by the French philosopher and writer Voltaire in 1736. The play is set in Peru during the Spanish conquest and tells the story of Alzire, a young Incan princess who falls in love with a Spanish soldier named Zamore. However, their love is threatened by the conflict between the Spanish and the Incas, and Alzire is forced to choose between her love for Zamore and her loyalty to her people. The play explores themes of love, loyalty, and the clash of cultures in a colonial context.
