«Le Cid» is the classic play by Pierre Corneille, published by Pocket in paperback (100 pages, in French).
Set in a medieval, nocturnal Seville, the play pits the young Rodrigue and Chimène against each other, separated by a duel that casts a shadow over their families. Despite duty and law, both love each other passionately, and their story becomes a conflict between honour and feeling.
Originally published in 1636, it belongs to the Pocket Classiques collection; this edition includes a preface by Didier Bazy.
A common reading in French schools, for literature students and anyone wanting to discover classical theatre in its original language.
