«L'île des esclaves: Suivi de La Dispute» is the play by Pierre de Marivaux, published by J'ai lu in paperback (76 pages, in French).
After a shipwreck, Iphicrates and his slave Arlequin arrive on an island where the law reverses roles: the master becomes the slave and the slave, the master. The utopian comedy corrects the pride of the powerful with a lesson in humanity. The volume includes «La Dispute», a piece about classes under the Ancien Régime and the 18th-century ideal of equality.
The work was originally published in 1725; this 2016 French edition includes a preface by Mathilde Landrain.
A work commonly read in schools and for fans of classic French theater.
Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux, commonly referred to as Marivaux, was a French playwright and novelist.
