«Le mariage de Figaro» is the comedy by Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, published by Hachette in 1976 (221 pages, in French).
The play centers on the servant Figaro and his fiancée, the countess's maid, whose wedding is threatened by the count's plans to revive an old feudal right over the bride. Figaro schemes ingeniously to prevent it, in a comedy that satirizes the privileges of the nobility and champions merit over birth.
Second title in Beaumarchais's Figaro trilogy. Edition from the «Nouveaux classiques illustrés Hachette» series with a chronological concordance table and a literary note by Claude Hubert.
For students of French literature and readers interested in eighteenth-century classical theater.
