Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Captive Maiden in Damascus: A Drama in Five Acts Naaman, leader of the armies of Syria, a man of noble character, has concealed from every one except Eliezer, his steward, the fact that he has been stricken with "white leprosy", a malignant and incurable disease. On his return from a campaign, during which the spot on his arm has spread alarmingly, his wife and daughters are eagerly awaiting his home coming; but he delays going to his house while despairingly seeking relief at the many shrines of Rimmon in the city. The King, aware only that his favorite is in deep trouble, endeavors to lighten Naaman´s burden by royal favors, but without avail. At length a meeting with his family becomes inevitable. Naaman reveals his trouble, but, unable to remain in the presence of those he loves so dearly, leaves them plunged in the deepest distress. In this extremity, Rachel, a captive Jewish maiden, whom the warrior has presented to his wife, having, some time before, discovered her master´s dread secret, makes known her earnest wish that he would go to the Prophet in Samaria, confident that Elisha can heal him of his leprosy. The succeeding events reveal the deep impression made upon the household by Rachel´s unquestioning faith. Naaman visits the Prophet and in due time returns, entirely restored to health. An altar is erected and dedicated to Jehovah and the story ends as Naaman is receiving the ardent congratulations of his friends upon his wonderful recovery. The play is based upon the record found in 2nd Kings, Chapter V. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
