«L'Île des esclaves» is the play by Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux, published by Hachette Education in paperback (158 pages, in French).
In the play, two Athenian masters, Iphicrate and Euphrosine, are shipwrecked with their slaves Arlequin and Cléanthis. On the island, the escaped slaves invert the social order: masters become slaves and servants become masters. The exchange of clothes and status unleashes a comic game that invites questioning of 18th-century society and all hierarchy.
The play was originally published in 1725. The book, dated 26 February 2003, belongs to the Bibliolycée collection and includes the complete text with questionnaires and analysis material.
School edition aimed at secondary students studying Marivaux's theatre in class.
