«Le jeu de l'amour et du hasard» is the comedy by Pierre de Marivaux published by Pocket in 1994 in paperback (186 pages, in French).
Silvia swaps roles with her maid Lisette to assess the young man her father proposes as a husband. Dorante does the same and presents himself as his servant Arlequin. The double misunderstanding turns courtship into a game of wit where appearances and class prejudices clash with the sincerity of feelings.
The work dates from 1730; this Pocket edition belongs to the collection «Lire et voir les classiques», with preface and commentary by Marie-Thérèse Ligot.
For students of French literature and readers who want to approach classical theatre with a didactic apparatus.
Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux, commonly referred to as Marivaux, was a French playwright and novelist.
