When Mycetes, the king of Persia, complains to his brother, Cosroe, about a group of outlaws that were causing trouble, Cosroe claimed that Mycetes was weak, and that a king shouldn't have such a problem. In response, Mycetes sends out a powerful soldier to kill the leader of the outlaws, Tamburlaine. Though the soldier's army was twice the size of Tamburlaine's, the outlaw was hardly discouraged. Using his wit and charm, Tamburlaine attempts to convince the soldier to convert to his side, merging the two armies. As Tamburlaine grows stronger, he gains new allies, such as his clever wife, Zenocrate. Though he seemed to be just a petty outlaw at first, the leaders of prominent Eurasian countries become increasingly concerned as Tamburlaine slowly overcomes armies and nations with force, manipulation, and unlikely alliances. As his makeshift armies continue to challenge elite armed forces, countless lives are at stake as Tamburlaine's bloody ambition only grows. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen first released, \u003ci\u003eTamburlaine the Great\u003c\/i\u003e both fascinated and disgusted the 16th century audience. Gaining a mix of fame and infamy, \u003ci\u003eTamburlaine the Great\u003c\/i\u003e is praised for its masterful imagery and language, enchanting audiences with its drama. However, Marlowe still received criticism for the play's suspected atheist undertones and the violence associated with the play, both real and depicted. With strong themes of humanism, \u003ci\u003eTamburlaine the Great\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates the accomplishments of Tamburlaine with little regard to the character's cruelty and aggression, creating a thought-provoking narrative that stays with readers long after the play's conclusion. Often referenced in prominent literary works, \u003ci\u003eTamburlaine the Great\u003c\/i\u003e remains relevant with radio and film adaptations, and is still performed in theatres around the world. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis edition of \u003ci\u003eTamburlaine the Great\u003c\/i\u003e by Christopher Marlowe is now presented in an easy-to-read font and features a striking new cover decision, creating an accessible reading experience.
