Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Barber of Seville * The Marriage of Figaro * The Guilty Mother Eighteenth-century France produced only one truly international theatre star, Beaumarchais, and only one name, Figaro, to put with Don Quixote or D'Artagnan in the ranks of popular myth. But who was Figaro? Not the impertinent valet of the operas of Mozart or Rossini, but both the spirit of resistance to oppression and a bourgeois individualist like his creator. The three plays in which he plots and schemes chronicle the slide of the ancien régime into revolution but also chart the growth of Beaumarchais' humanitarianism. They are also exuberant theatrical entertainments, masterpieces of skill, invention, and social satire which helped shape the direction of French theatre for a hundred years. This lively new translation catches all the zest and energy of the most famous valet in French literature.

Download or read book The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro written by Pierre-Augustin Beaumarchais and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2005-03-31 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A French courtier, secret agent, libertine and adventurer, Beaumarchais (1732-99) was also author of two sparkling plays about the scoundrelly valet Figaro - triumphant successes that were used as the basis of operas by Mozart and Rossini. A highly engaging comedy of intrigue, The Barber of Seville portrays the resourceful Figaro foiling a jealous old man's attempts to keep his beautiful ward from her lover. And The Marriage of Figaro - condemned by Louis XVI for its daring satire of nobility and privilege - depicts a master and servant set in opposition by their desire for the same woman. With characteristic lightness of touch, Beaumarchais created an audacious farce of disguise and mistaken identity that balances wit, frivolity and seriousness in equal measure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (1732-1799) was an exceptional French writer of prose comedy during the eighteenth century. He is best known for his theatrical works of the three Figaro plays. Beaumarchais had an action-filled career as a watchmaker, musician, secret agent, businessman, diplomat and a financer of revolutions. His literary career was as turbulent as his personal life. After a series of lawsuits in Paris, the accounts of his trials made his reputation as a sarcastic, effective, and recognized writer. "The Barber of Seville" (1775) was originally a comic opera, or a mixture of spoken play with music. The story was based on an ill-fated alliance between Beaumarchais' sister and Jose Clavijo, a Spanish writer. In addition, Beaumarchais raises a cry for the condemnation of the prevailing social system through his main character, Figaro. The work was prohibited in 1773 for indecency then received with great success two years later.

This book was released on 2015-08-07 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beaumarchais's Le Barbier De Seville and Lettres Argument is hardly necessary to suggest the importance of some acquaintance with Beaumarchais - for students who aim at a comprehensive grasp upon French literature. To say nothing further as to his place in French letters, Beaumarchais is deserving of more than a passing notice because of his position of influence in the colonial struggles of our country. In the preparation of Notes and Introduction, the editor acknowledges his indebtedness to the critical essays of Brunetiere, Sainte-Beuve, Saintsbury, and others; to the scholarly editions of Le Barbier de Seviiie by Austin Dobson and Professor Spiers; and to John W. Foster's Century of American Diplomacy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
