«Arlecchino servitore di due padroni-La bottega del caffè» is the theater volume by Carlo Goldoni that brings together two comedies, published by Edizioni Scolastiche Bruno Mondadori in paperback (336 pages, in Italian).
The volume brings together two comedies by Carlo Goldoni set in eighteenth-century Italy. In «Arlecchino servitore di due padroni», the servant Arlecchino serves two masters simultaneously to double his pay, causing constant mix-ups and misunderstandings. «La bottega del caffè» portrays everyday life around a Venetian café, with characters of different backgrounds crossing paths in intrigues and dialogues full of irony. Both works combine humor and social criticism, and are presented here in an annotated edition for the study of the text.
School edition belonging to the «Bottega del lettore» series, with introduction and didactic apparatus. The original Italian text is edited and annotated by G. Cislaghi.
Recommended for secondary school students working on Italian literature in its original language, as well as for readers interested in eighteenth-century classical theater.
Carlo Osvaldo Goldoni was an Italian playwright and librettist from the Republic of Venice. His works include some of Italy's most famous and best-loved plays. Audiences have admired the plays of Goldoni for their ingenious mix of wit and honesty. His plays offered his contemporaries images of themselves, often dramatizing the lives, values, and conflicts of the emerging middle classes. Though he wrote in French and Italian, his plays make rich use of the Venetian language, regional vernacular, and colloquialisms. Goldoni also wrote under the pen name and title Polisseno Fegeio, Pastor Arcade, which he claimed in his memoirs the "Arcadians of Rome" bestowed on him.
