«L'Île des esclaves» is the play by Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux, published by Gallimard in paperback (137 pages, in French).
A shipwreck brings two masters and their slaves to the Isle of Slaves, where the law forces a role reversal: Iphicrate and Euphrosine serve, while Arlequin and Cléanthis give orders. Trivelin oversees this exchange for eight days as a moral therapy. The play shows that only a transformation of hearts can make inequality acceptable, and that generosity proves contagious.
The play was published in 1725; this paperback edition belongs to the Folio classique collection, edited and annotated by Henri Coulet, with the mention «Programme du Bac» on the cover.
Study edition for the French baccalaureate programme and for readers wishing to discover Marivaux's theatre with annotations.
