About this book

The Hostage is the English translation of L'Otage, a verse drama by Paul Claudel (1868-1955), the French Catholic poet and dramatist who was also a career diplomat. Set during the Napoleonic upheavals, the play turns on a woman forced to sacrifice her happiness to save the imprisoned Pope, the agonised choice between love and duty that runs through Claudel's religious theatre. Claudel was among the great Catholic writers of modern France.
