Basada en hechos reales ocurridos en 1946 en Oyo, una antigua ciudad yoruba de Nigeria, la aclamada obra de Wole Soyinka aborda temas clásicos como el choque cultural, la toma de decisiones trágicas y las mentalidades psicológicas de individuos y grupos. La obra explora las vidas entrelazadas de Elesin Oba, el jinete principal del rey, su hijo Olunde, que estudia medicina en Inglaterra, y Simon Pilkings, el oficial colonial del distrito. Tras la muerte del rey, Elesin debe suicidarse para acompañar a su gobernante al cielo, pero la intervención de Pilkings y el regreso de Olunde desencadenan un dramático clímax. Esta edición de Norton Critical Edition incluye un mapa de Yorubaland, discusiones sobre las creencias religiosas y tradiciones culturales yoruba, y comentarios sobre la obra como producción teatral y texto de estudio.
