Under a Spell: A Comedy in One Act, Translated From the French

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fine edition of the classic 1888 comedy by the renowned French playwrights, Labiche and Jolly. Like many of Labiche's plays, this farcical comedy of errors is set within a wealthy bourgeois family and employs the mechanism of mistaken identities to create its mirthful entanglements. At the center of the plot is the esteemed Francois Caboussat, a businessman turned local politician on the cusp of being elected president of the Agricultural Society of Arpajon. Caboussat is a genial but slightly pompous man with aspirations that far exceed his intellect. When the author of an obscure academic paper on Latin grammar, M. Poitimas, arrives unexpectedly at Caboussat's country home and mistakes him for a fellow scholar, the stage is set for a series of hilarious misunderstandings, tangled romances, and near-disasters. The author cleverly uses Poitimas' archaeological obsessions and Caboussat's obsession with his speeches to create a frenetic pace that keeps the audience in stitches. This book is a highly entertaining read that provides a unique glimpse into the literary landscape of 19th-century France. Labiche's genius for creating comical situations and his ability to satirize the social pretensions of his time are on full display in this sparkling comedy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780259791546_0
