«L'Île des esclaves» is the play by Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux, published by Pocket in paperback (253 pages, in French).
On the Island of Slaves, the shipwrecked must swap their conditions: the master Iphicrate becomes Arlequin's slave, and Euphrosine becomes Cléanthis's slave. Marivaux uses this exchange of roles to expose abuses and prejudices, and how generosity and the equality of souls can make the relationship between masters and servants fairer.
Play originally published in 1725. This volume from the Classiques de Pocket collection offers the complete text, with reading keys and a special BAC dossier.
Recommended for students of French literature and readers preparing for exams such as the BAC, as well as for those new to classical theatre.
