Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Hassan: the story of Hassan of Bagdad, and how he came to make the golden journey to Samarkand" by James Elroy Flecker is a play in five acts written during the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around Hassan, a humble confectioner in Baghdad, who finds himself entwined in a tumultuous pursuit of love and respect. The story explores the dynamics of ambition, enchantment, and the complexities of human desire against a vividly portrayed Middle Eastern backdrop. The opening of the play introduces Hassan, who is in despair over his unrequited love for Yasmin, a beautiful widow. His friend Selim insists on lightening his mood, but Hassan is determined to pursue Yasmin, leading to discussions about magic and a love potion that might win her heart. His longing is intense, yet he is conflicted by his humble status and sense of self-worth. As he prepares elaborate sweets infused with magic to impress Yasmin, he showcases both his artistic spirit and vulnerability. The stage is set for a tale of love, ambition, and the interplay of destiny as Hassan's life unfurls amidst comedic and tragic elements.
