He continues this wonderful work with two plays from Pierre Corneille: Le Cid is Corneille's most famous play, a tragedy set in Seville that illuminates the dangers of being bound by honor and the limits of romantic love; The Liar is a farce, set in France and dealing with love, misperceptions, and downright falsifications, which ends, of course, happily ever after. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These two plays, together in one volume, work in perfect tandem to showcase the breadth of Corneille's abilities. Taking us back to the time he portrays as well as the time of his greatest success as a playwright, they remind us that the delights to be found on the French stage are truly ageless.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780156035835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2009 pg. 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 21\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pierre Corneille, Richard Wilbur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36635019870364,"sku":"9780156035835","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8b7a1390-ed0f-4b39-b375-fece2418f41a.jpg?v=1603838308","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/le-cid-and-the-liar-9780156035835","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
