«L'Île des esclaves» is the one-act comedy by Pierre de Marivaux, published by Larousse in the Petits Classiques collection in a 126-page French paperback edition.
The play, originally written in 1725, imagines a utopian island where an ancient custom forces masters and slaves to swap roles. During this time, the former suffer humiliation and the latter exact revenge, but the role reversal questions the social order and leads the spectator to reflect on justice, equality and human nature.
The edition is part of the Petits Classiques Larousse series, number 73, and includes the complete text of the work, in line with French educational programs.
Aimed at students of French and readers approaching the classics of French theatre, it includes pedagogical resources for study at high school (lycée).
Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux, commonly referred to as Marivaux, was a French playwright and novelist.
