Pride and his prisoners

Edición de la obra Pride and his prisoners

Using the metaphorical imagery of a near catastrophe in an unfettered hot-air balloon, A.L.O.E. (A Lady of England) unapologetically illustrates our natural inclination to yield to the temptations of our enemy, Pride. As in real life, not a single character passes the litmus test as a series of wrong and sometimes devastating choices culminate in a chilling and terrifying episode. But all is not lost, as the prisoners of Pride are loosed from bondage and relationships are restored. Written during the Victorian era, its codes of etiquette and societal roles are evident, but the truth remains that whether male or female, rich or poor, we can all benefit from a good dose of humility!
