«Le Cid» is the five-act tragedy by Pierre Corneille, published by Hachette in paperback (174 pages, in French).
Set in 11th-century Spain, the play pits the lovers Rodrigue and Chimène against each other when family honour intervenes: Rodrigue must avenge the insult to his father, a duty that clashes with his love. Chimène, for her part, is torn between duty to her family and her feelings.
Tragedy premiered in 1637 at the Théâtre du Marais in Paris. Inspired by Las mocedades del Cid by Guillén de Castro. Belongs to the Nouveaux classiques illustrés collection.
Useful for school reading and French literature studies, as well as for fans of classical theatre.
