A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The third act takes place in the same small room as A ct I, and finds Mustafa boasting of his ultimate success with I sabella. As soon as he leaves, Lindoro and I sabella plan their escape. Mustafa rewards Taddeo for his niece by making him his Kaimakan ,whose duty it is to bring in I sabella when she is desired by Mustafa. This distasteful office Taddeo dares not refuse. In the second scene I sabella is summoned to the apartment of the Bey, but she has taken the others into her confidence and they hide in various parts of the apartment. When Mustafa enters Taddeo exasperates him by not withdrawing at the proper signal. I sabella suddenly calls in Elvi -a from the adjoining room and confronts Mustafa with her. Then I sabellas plot unfolds. They induce Mustafa to become a member of the order of the Pappataci, an imaginary society whose members live a life of gluttony and sensuality, which appeals highly to Mustafa. They delude him into performing a series of stupid ceremonies of initiation, and compel him to sit mumbling and eating, totally blind to the fact that thile he is thus sitting idly by, I sabella, Lindoro and Taddeo are making good their escape. When he discovers the deception, it is already too late to call them back, and he decides to take Elvira back. CAST OF CHARACTERS.
