Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the significance of social etiquette in 19th-century France as it presents "La Niaise de Saint-Flour" (The Simpleton) - a play by the prolific French author EugĂ ne Labiche. The author depicts the complexities of societal norms and their influence on individuals through the witty and satirical lens of a romantic comedy. The play unfolds in a grand salon, where the pursuit of a wealthy marriage takes center stage amidst a whirlwind of mishaps, misunderstandings, and social blunders. Labiche deftly skewers the superficiality and vanity of the upper class, inviting readers to reflect on the absurdity of societal expectations and the search for true connection in a world obsessed with appearances and status.
