«Topaze» is Marcel Pagnol's four-act play, published by Pocket in paperback (273 pages, in French).
Topaze, a modest boarding-school teacher, is dismissed for refusing to falsify the grades of wealthy students. Unemployed, he gives private lessons to Suzy Courtois's nephew and enters a world of business and appearances that tests his integrity. Pagnol's play reflects the tension between morality and social success.
This edition is from 1976. It belongs to the Presses Pocket collection, no. 1294. The full title is «Topaze : pièce en quatre actes».
For readers of classic French theatre and comedy with social undertones; also common reading in school programs.
