""The Philosopher Of Butterbiggins: A Play In One Act"" is a theatrical work written by Harold Chapin and first published in 1921. The play revolves around the character of Professor John Gowrie, who is a philosopher and a recluse. He lives in a small cottage in the village of Butterbiggins, where he spends his days contemplating the mysteries of life. The play begins with two young men, Tom and Dick, who stumble upon Professor Gowrie's cottage while on a walk. They are curious about the reclusive philosopher and decide to pay him a visit. The professor is initially reluctant to let them in, but eventually agrees to speak with them. The conversation between the three men forms the basis of the play. They discuss a range of philosophical topics, including the nature of truth, the meaning of life, and the existence of God. The play is notable for its exploration of these weighty themes in a humorous and lighthearted manner. As the play progresses, the characters begin to reveal more about themselves. Tom and Dick are revealed to be struggling with personal issues, while Professor Gowrie has his own demons to contend with. The play ultimately ends on a poignant note, as the characters come to a realization about the fragility of life and the importance of living in the moment. Overall, ""The Philosopher Of Butterbiggins"" is a thought-provoking and entertaining play that explores some of the biggest questions of human existence. It is a testament to Chapin's skill as a playwright that he is able to tackle these complex themes with such wit and humor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
