Summary “Nathan the Wise”


The time of events refers to the twelfth century. The 12th century is the period of the crusades to the south of Europe and Asia. In one of the biggest battles, the crusaders suffer a complete defeat. Many of the knights are captured by the Arab Sultan Saladin. Most of the knights are executed, but one of them is left alive. He wears a white cloak and moves freely around the city. One night in the house of the Jew Nathan, there is a fierce fire. The young knight Templar decides at the last moment to run inside the house and saves the daughter of Nathan, a young girl named Rahu. She is beautiful with all her appearance and manners, which have been vaccinated to her since childhood. After that, time passes and Nathan goes on a trip to Babylon to sell goods and buy others. When he comes back, he brings with him on camels a lot of things, including a single and expensive specimen. Among the population and co-religionists, Nathan was called a sage. And when a Jew invites a Templar to his

house, in order to see his daughter’s savior personally, he refuses to come. As Daiya, the friend of the daughter of that Jew, said, the Templar grins at his thoughts and will not go to him for anything.

Rhaha believes that God made a great miracle for her, sending her to help this young Templar, who at the last moment pulled her out of the burning house. And Nathan, hearing her conversations with his girlfriend, makes her comments. He points out that one should not dream, one must do good deeds, and in that case, God will never leave such a person. Like Rha, Nathan wants to find the Templar with all his soul and somehow thank him for saving his daughter. He knows that the Templar lives in this city without his friends, locking himself up for long days in his house. Previously, Sultan Salandin had never shown a tendency to leave one of the prisoners alive. But with the Templar, everything turned out quite differently. Apparently, as Nathan thinks, the Sultan sees in the face of this young man his brother, who once died tragically. Nathan has a friend, with the name Al-Ghafri, with whom they often played chess

together. Now Al-gafri became not just a servant, but a treasurer of the Sultan. In turn, Nathan is very surprised by this appointment. After all, he is sure that Al-gafri is a man “dervish with his heart”. Al-gafri comes to the house to Nathan to discuss an important matter. The Sultan’s treasure is already coming to an end. But he has a chance to save the situation, at least somehow to delay a new war with the Crusaders. If Nathan gives money to the Sultan, then the state of the state will improve significantly. Nathan perfectly understands what his old friend is driving at. Nathan is ready to give money to Al-gafri loans, but as the treasurer of the Sultan, but as his personal good friend. And Al-gafri in this case must give way to treasurer Nathan. At this time, in the courtyard of the palace, the templar walks freely. Suddenly, one of the servants of the church approaches him and says that the Templar has a chance to get even with Saladin. He can act as a scout. But the Templar refuses this, saying that he is a knight, his duty is to fight, but not to kill anyone from behind. The novice was somewhat upset by the words of the Templar. He really hoped that the Templar would act as a scout and that he would be able to find out some secrets of the Sultan and even, if possible, imperceptibly to kill him. But the Templar refused and now he has to look for a new man. The novice held his anger at the Templar. The novice was somewhat upset by the words of the Templar.

But the Templar refused and now he has to look for a new man. The novice held his anger at the Templar.

During this conversation, Saladin himself sits in his palace with his sister Zita. Having laid out a board on the table, they play chess and discuss the current political state of affairs in the state and the prospects for war with the Crusaders. Zitta tells Saladin that the faith of Christians is not true. This faith is needed only to exterminate people like themselves. And the Baptist bear with them only death and destruction. Saladin, however, is of a different opinion. He is sure that Christians with their faith have nothing to do with it. The main problem is the crusaders. Who represent the order of people who have forgotten that there is in fact faith and virtue. And all Christians have nothing to do with it. After a while Al-Ghafri comes to the sultan. Between them there is a conversation about money. The Sultan reminds Al-Ghafri that he has a certain rich friend Nathan, which can provide money for the Sultan and the entire state. But Al-Ghafri replies that Nathan gives out money only to poor people. And he will not want to give them to the Sultan. And he behaves like all the Jews. Nathan has a conversation with Daya. She tells him to turn to the Templar first. Then the knight will never go to talk with a Jew. Nathan is of the opinion of Daya and he himself goes to the Templar. He, having seen a Jew at his doorstep, at first does not want to start a conversation with him. But seeing the persistence of Nathan, and the fact that he himself came to him, in order to talk, they act on the Templar and he starts a conversation with Nathan. Nathan learns from the Templar his name and origin. The Templar is a German and he has an unusual German name. He asks Nathan to introduce him to his daughter Raja. Nathan agrees. Somewhere in his thoughts, he finds the similarity of the Templar to his old, already dead by this time, friend. Nathan has some suspicions about this man’s relationship.

A few days later, Saladin called Nathan to his palace, in order to discuss with him some questions. Initially, Nathan thought that the sultan would talk about the money that he has. But when he came to the sultan, he began the conversation entirely on a different topic. The Sultan decides which faith is better. He is a Muslim, a Templar is a Christian, and a Jew is a Jew. It can not be, says the Sultan, so that all three faiths are true. To which Nathan tells the Sultan a parable. The parable is the tale of the three golden rings. There was an old father in the world and he had a ring that he inherited. That ring had extraordinary strength. It could create such miracles that no one could ever do. So, that father had three sons to him. It can not be said that he singles out one. They loved all their sons in the same way. But now, my father felt, that he would soon die. And in order not to offend one of his sons, he buys two more almost the same rings. Outwardly they are similar to each other, but the other two do not have such magical power as the first ring. The hour had come to die, and my father gave each of his sons a ring. That ring, which had magical power, made from its possessor a head of all sorts. But none of the sons, and could not prove which of the three rings has this cherished power. So here, Nathan finished, there are three religions, but no one can say exactly which one is truly true. You can only guess and guess. Saladin was surprised at Nathan’s wisdom and agreed with him, but the sultan does not say a word that he and the state need money. Nathan decides to begin this conversation himself, and offers the sultan a large sum of money. When Nathan leaves the palace of the Sultan, he meets the Templar in front of him. He asks for his hand and the heart of his daughter Rahi. But Nathan does not want to give her to marry the man whose pedigree he does not know. Therefore, he does not answer the templar. The Templar goes to Daya and asks her if Rhaha’s truth is Jewish. To which Daya answers that it is not. In fact, Rech is a Christian. When she was very young, Nathan adopted her and took him to his house with him. The Templar, having learned this message, goes to the patriarch of the Christian church and asks him if a Jew can educate a Christian, and then not let her marry a Christian. The Patriarch replied that the Jew can not do this, and asked the Templar where he lives such a Jew? But the Templar did not reply to the patriarch and left him.

After a while the Templar comes to the palace to the Sultan. He is afraid for the life of Nathan, after that conversation with the patriarch. The Sultan starts to calm him down and says that nothing terrible will happen. The Sultan offers the Templar to live in his palace. He does not care whether he is a Christian or a Muslim. The Templar does not dare to refuse such a proposal of the Sultan. The novice of the patriarch comes to Nathan and tells him that he gave him a baby girl once. She had another father and he was Nathan’s most devoted friend. Together with him they fought in several bloody battles, but everywhere a friend saved Nathan from certain death. But in those parts did not like Jews, so Nathan was killed and his wife and all his sons. Together with these words, the novice hands over to the hand of Nathan a prayer book, in which the entire pedigree of the girl is written. Nathan now understands everything. He comes to the Sultan’s palace and finds a Templar there. He again asks for his hand and the heart of his daughter Rahi. But Nathan instead tells the pedigree of the girl. It turns out that the Templar is also the son of Nathan’s friend, who has long since died. That is, Rakh and the Templar are his own brother and sister. And Saladin and Nathan’s friend are brothers. This means that Reha and the Templar are nephews of the Sultan. All this is confirmed by the records that were found in the prayer book, which brought the same novice to Nathan. Sultan and Zitta accept Rahu and the Templar in their family. That is, Rakh and the Templar are his own brother and sister. And Saladin and Nathan’s friend are brothers.
