«Le Cid» is the play by Pierre Corneille published by Hatier in 1980 with the subtitle «Vrais et faux héros» (127 pages, in French).
The action takes place in 11th-century Spain: Rodrigue and Chimène love each other, but honor and duty set their families against one another and drag them into a conflict of revenge. The edition links Corneille's play to the theme «vrais et faux héros», exemplified with texts by Rabelais, Cervantes, Verlaine and Camus.
The edition belongs to Hatier's «Œuvres et thèmes» collection; in the records it also appears as «Le Cid-Vrais et faux héros».
Recommended for students of French literature and for readers who wish to delve into 17th-century classical theater.
