This book contains two classic works by Jean Racine: 'Andromache' and 'Phaedra'. Both tragedies explore themes of love, jealousy, revenge, and destiny, with complex characters and dramatic situations. This edition from Altaya, belonging to the 'Classics of Universal Literature' collection, features a careful translation and an introductory study to facilitate the understanding of these masterpieces of French literature.
Jean-Baptiste Racine was a French dramatist, one of the three great playwrights of 17th-century France, along with Molière and Corneille, as well as an important literary figure in the Western tradition and world literature. Racine was primarily a tragedian, producing such "examples of neoclassical perfection" as Phèdre, Andromaque, and Athalie. He did write one comedy, Les Plaideurs, and a muted tragedy, Esther, for the young.
