Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to "La Poudre aux Yeux", a three-act play written around 1860 by the French author Eugà ne Labiche, a prominent 19th-century French playwright for his satirical comedies. Labiche's theatrical works were highly regarded for their piquant social commentary that critiqued the vanities of bourgeois society and human nature. In "La Poudre aux Yeux", Labiche explores how his central characters Malingear, a self-important doctor, and Ratinois, a retired wholesaler turned social climber, attempt to impress each other with their exaggerated claims. By exposing the gap between the image these individuals want to project of themselves and the reality of their circumstances, Labiche deftly illustrates the universal human tendency to embellish, exaggerate, and engage in 'powdering', the literal translation for the work's title, all in the pursuit of social status. At once humorous and insightful, the play stands as a highly entertaining critique of the vanity and self-deception that can be found in all of us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780265144220_0
