«La Sauvage, suivi de L'Invitation au château» is the theater volume by Jean Anouilh published by Folio in paperback (384 pages, in French).
The volume brings together two plays by Jean Anouilh. In La Sauvage, a woman who claims to have found happiness is confronted by a man from her past, in a drama marked by love and class differences. L'Invitation au château offers a lighter vein, dominated by wit and social misunderstandings.
The two works are published in a single volume of the Folio collection, numbered 874.
Recommended for students of French, theater lovers and readers interested in twentieth-century French drama.
Jean Marie Lucien Pierre Anouilh was a French dramatist and screenwriter whose career spanned five decades. Though his work ranged from high drama to absurdist farce, Anouilh is best known for his 1944 production of Sophocles' Antigone, which, though performed without objection by censors, was nevertheless seen as an attack on Marshal Pétain's Vichy government. His plays are less experimental than those of his contemporaries, having clearly organized plot and eloquent dialogue. One of France's most prolific writers after World War II, much of Anouilh's work deals with themes of maintaining integrity in a world of moral compromise.
