Horace [French]

Bys: Corneille, Pierre, Nitze, William a., Galpin, Stanley L.

"Horace" est l'un des chefs-d' "uvre incontest s de la trag die classique fran aise, crit par Pierre Corneille. Inspir e par les r cits de l'historien romain Tite-Live, cette pi ce magistrale met en sc ne le conflit l gendaire entre les cit s de Rome et d'Albe, incarn par le duel fratricide entre les familles des Horaces et des Curiaces. Le drame se d noue autour du sacrifice personnel et de la tension insupportable entre le devoir patriotique et les liens du sang.

travers une structure dramatique rigoureuse, l' "uvre explore la nature de l'h ro sme et les limites de la vertu civique. Corneille y d peint des personnages d'une force morale exceptionnelle, confront s des choix impossibles o l'honneur de la cit prime sur les sentiments individuels. Cette trag die se distingue par la densit de sa r flexion politique et la puissance de sa rh torique, caract ristiques majeures du th tre du XVIIe si cle.

Consid r comme l'un des sommets du Grand Si cle, "Horace" demeure une tude fascinante sur la psychologie humaine face l'exigence absolue de l' tat. C'est une "uvre essentielle pour tout lecteur s'int ressant l' volution de la litt rature europ enne et aux racines de la dramaturgie moderne.
