Publisher Description
Émile Augier presents the story of SAPPHO, another tragedy set in classical times, full of betrayal and self-sacrifice. Ancient Greek drama had much in common with modern opera, emphasizing story lines that have been simplified to focus very tightly on particular emotional themes. The freshness and charm of this French dramatization is remarkable.

Don't Bother.
The star I gave it was but a generous gesture. Not only was it a bothersome read but highly similar to other stories of yore.
If we were to watch or listen to it, I'd give a higher rating, however I would suggest to those who delight in theatre to read classics like Moliere, Corneille or Racine.
