«Les Fausses Confidences» is the play by Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux, published by Flammarion in paperback (176 pages, in French).
Dorante, a young man without fortune, falls in love with Araminte, a rich widow. To get close to her, he takes a job as her secretary and, with the help of his valet Dubois, weaves a web of deceptions and misunderstandings in eighteenth-century Paris. The result is a comedy of intrigue that satirises social conventions and marriages of convenience.
The piece, originally published in 1737, appears here in a 1999 edition from the GF Flammarion collection with a dossier and introduction by Catherine Naugrette-Christophe.
Recommended for students of French literature and readers interested in eighteenth-century classical theatre.
