«Iphigénie» is the five-act tragedy by Jean Racine, published by Dessain et Tolra in paperback, in French.
On the eve of the Trojan War, Agamemnon must sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia to win the favor of the gods so the Greek fleet can set sail. Racine pits the passions of Achilles, Clytemnestra and Eriphile against each other, turning Iphigenia into a victim of ambition, jealousy and pride; the divine oracle thus reveals human fury.
The play premiered at Versailles in 1674; this complete French text belongs to the Univers des Lettres collection.
For students of French literature and lovers of seventeenth-century classical theater.
