[WIKIPEDIA]"Samson is a three-act oratorio by George Frideric Handel, considered one of his finest dramatic works. It is usually performed as an oratorio in concert form, but on occasions has also been staged as an opera. (...) Samson, Judge of Israel, married a Philistine woman, Dalila, who discovered that his supernatural strength derived from his never cutting his hair. Dalila shore his hair while he was sleeping and betrayed him to her people, the Philistines, enemy of the Israelites. The Philistines captured Samson and put his eyes out. The scene is set in front of the prison in Gaza. Since it is a festival day in honour of the Philistine god Dagon Samson is allowed to come out of his prison cell, albeit in chains, and receive visitors." #booksforsale #Oratorio #Handel #Vintage #Samson #readersofinstagram #Delilah #Scarce #instabooks #GeorgeFredericHandel #Palestine #Libretto #collectiblebooks #SamsonAgonistes #CuttleboneBooks #Gaza #bibliophile #Israel #ClassicalMusic #Antiquarian #Opera #Books #NewburghHamilton #JohnMilton #instaread #Rare #Bookstagram #Dalila #Bookworm #Philistine
