Murder in the Cathedral
Murder in the Cathedral | T.S. Eliot
A vivid exploration of the fundamental contradiction of martyrdom. Though best known for his poetry, T.S. Eliot was also an accomplished playwright. Murder in the Cathedral is a beautiful, haunting poetic take on the martyrdom of Archbishop Thomas Becket in 1170. Becket sees his death coming, but embraces it. This strange duality a martyrs death as both tragic and glorious serves as the basis for the action. Penguin Random House Canada is proud to bring you classic works of literature in e-book form, with the highest quality production values.

Quite an interesting read, the writing is very beautiful... It's a play recounting the assassination of the Archbishop Thomas Becket.
