«L'Île des esclaves» is the one-act comedy by Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux, published by Larousse in a paperback edition (159 pages, in French).
A utopian island: a young master is shipwrecked with his servant and discovers that the island is inhabited by rebellious slaves. One of them forces the master to change his name and position with his servant. Through this exchange of roles, Marivaux builds a political piece and plays with the ambiguity of the human heart and power relations, without the old order emerging clearly transformed.
School edition from the Petits Classiques collection with complete text. The play premiered in 1725.
Recommended for secondary school students or readers approaching classical French theatre in its original language.
