Le Barbier De Séville, Ou La Précaution Inutile; La Folle Journée, Ou Le Mariage De Figaro

By Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais

This volume contains two of Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais's most celebrated plays, "Le Barbier de S ville" and "Le Mariage de Figaro." Le Barbier de S ville, ou la Pr caution Inutile, a sparkling comedy of wit and intrigue, introduces the resourceful barber Figaro and the lovelorn Count Almaviva. Together, they conspire to win the beautiful Rosine away from her jealous guardian, Doctor Bartolo.

La Folle Journ e, ou Le Mariage de Figaro continues the adventures of Figaro, now valet to the Count, as he prepares to marry Suzanne. However, the Count, bored with his marriage to Rosine, attempts to seduce Suzanne, leading to a day of hilarious confusion and social commentary. Beaumarchais's sharp wit and keen observations on social class made "Le Mariage de Figaro" a cultural phenomenon, foreshadowing the French Revolution. These plays remain enduring classics, celebrated for their vibrant characters, witty dialogue, and insightful critique of society.
