A Selection from the Comedies of Marivaux

"A Selection from the Comedies of Marivaux" by Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux is a grouping of funny plays from the 1700s that looks closely at love and how people act around each other. These plays, including "Le Jeu de l'Amour et du Hasard," "Le Legs," and "Les Fausses Confidences", are known for their fancy language and clever characters. The book starts by talking about Marivaux's life, education, and what inspired him, pointing out that his plays aren't well-known to English speakers, even though he added a lot to the world of plays. Because of his funny writing and interesting ideas about love and society, this collection is good for anyone who likes old stories and thinking about social issues.
