«Le Mariage de Figaro» is the play by Beaumarchais and Bernard Combeaud, published by Hachette in paperback (287 pages, in French).
Figaro and Suzanne are about to marry, but Count Almaviva, their master, tries to exercise an old feudal right over her. This comedy, a sequel to The Barber of Seville, combines intrigue and wit, criticizes noble privileges and, after years of censorship, triumphed at its 1784 premiere; it heralds the French Revolution.
Second installment of the Figaro trilogy, after The Barber of Seville. School edition from the Classiques Hachette collection with the complete text of the work.
Suitable for intermediate and preparatory students of French and for readers of eighteenth-century French classical theater.
Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais was a French playwright and diplomat of the Age of Enlightenment. Best known for his three Figaro plays, at various times in his life he was also a watchmaker, inventor, musician, spy, publisher, arms dealer, and revolutionary.
