Book Overview

""The Triumph of Youth"" or ""The White Mouse"" is a comedic play in three acts written by French playwright Edouard Pailleron and originally published in 1907. The story revolves around the character of Am�����d�����e, a wealthy and aging bachelor who becomes infatuated with a young woman named H�����l�����ne, known as the ""White Mouse"" for her shy and timid demeanor. Despite H�����l�����ne's initial reluctance, Am�����d�����e pursues her relentlessly, much to the amusement of his friends and the consternation of H�����l�����ne's father. As the plot unfolds, various characters become entangled in the romantic drama, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings and misadventures. Ultimately, the play explores themes of love, youth, and the follies of age.
