And He Hid Himself : Kessinger Publishing : 9781162748894 : 1162748893 : 10 Sep 2010 : And He Hid Himself is a play in four acts written by Ignazio Silone. The play tells the story of Don Paolo, a Catholic priest who is torn between his faith and his political beliefs during the rise of fascism in Italy. Don Paolo is forced to confront the moral dilemmas of his time, including the persecution of Jews and the suppression of political dissent. As the play progresses, Don Paolo becomes increasingly conflicted, eventually deciding to hide himself away from the world in order to avoid compromising his principles. The play is a powerful exploration of the tension between individual conscience and political ideology, and is considered one of Silone's most important works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
