«Le Mariage de Figaro» is Beaumarchais's five-act comedy, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback, in French (286 pages).
A comedy of intrigues set in Seville, revolving around Figaro's wedding. Beaumarchais uses conflicts between servants and masters to satirize aristocratic privileges; the play was deemed so subversive that contemporaries read it as a political event.
Second installment of the Figaro trilogy, with introduction, commentary and notes by Giovanna Trisolini. Part of the Le Théâtre de Poche collection.
Suitable for students of French literature and readers of classical theater interested in eighteenth-century social satire.
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.
