Everyman is a medieval morality play that was first performed in the late 15th century. The play tells the story of Everyman, a wealthy and successful man who is suddenly called upon by Death to make a reckoning of his life. Everyman is forced to confront the fact that he has lived a life of sin and must now face judgment for his actions. Along the way, he is abandoned by many of his friends and family members, who are unwilling to accompany him on his journey to the afterlife. Everyman eventually turns to Good Deeds, who agrees to accompany him to the final judgment. The play is a powerful allegory for the Christian belief in the importance of leading a virtuous life and preparing for the afterlife. It is also a poignant reminder of the inevitability of death and the need to live each day with purpose and meaning.Everyman. Gramercy, my frendes and kynnesmen kynde. Now shall I shewe you the grefe of my mynde: I was commaunded by a messenger, That is a hye kynges chefe offycer. He bad me go a pylgrymage, to my payne, And I knowe well I shall neuer come agayne.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
The author of The Mabinogion is unknown, as the stories were passed down through Welsh oral tradition before being recorded in medieval manuscripts. They were later preserved in the White Book of Rhydderch and the Red Book of Hergest, two 14th-century texts. Though the scribes remain unnamed, their work safeguarded Wales's rich mythological heritage.These tales draw from ancient Celtic mythology, heroic sagas, and supernatural folklore. They reflect the cultural and political landscape of early Wales, blending history with legend. While the original storytellers are lost to time, their influence endures.In the 19th century, Lady Charlotte Guest translated and popularized The Mabinogion, introducing it to a wider English-speaking audience. Her work helped establish the text as a foundational piece of medieval literature and revived interest in Welsh mythology. Thanks to her efforts and the nameless scribes before her, The Mabinogion continues to captivate readers and scholars alike, preserving the voice of a lost era.
