«L'Île des Esclaves» is the theatrical comedy by Pierre de Marivaux, published by Hachette in paperback (128 pages, in French).
After a storm, two masters and their slaves arrive on an island whose inhabitants, slaves who fled ancient Greece, invert the hierarchies: they enslave the masters and free the slaves. Forced to exchange clothes and status, the four castaways star in a satirical comedy that invites questioning of the social order of the eighteenth century.
This edition from the Classiques Hachette collection offers the complete text as per the original 1725 edition, with notes, quizzes and pedagogical material prepared by Stéphane Guinoiseau.
School edition aimed at French students preparing for the baccalaureate, with didactic apparatus for reading and analysing the work in class.
