«Le Mariage de Figaro: tome II» is the second volume of Beaumarchais's comedy, published by Larousse in paperback (140 pages, in French).
The action takes place in eighteenth-century France: Figaro, a cunning servant, is about to marry Susana, but his master, Count Almaviva, tries to seduce her. The play strings together misunderstandings, disguises and witty retorts to satirize the privileges of the aristocracy and the power relations between masters and servants.
The play premiered in 1784. This edition is part of the Classiques Larousse collection in its volume II.
Edition with notes and commentaries, suitable for students of French and readers interested in classical theatre.
