«Topaze» is Marcel Pagnol's play in four acts, published by Editions de Fallois in paperback (249 pages, in French).
The play follows a modest, honest and naive teacher who is hired by a corrupt councillor to be used as a front man. Through this conflict, Pagnol portrays corruption and social hypocrisy in a comedy of characters; Topaze became an archetypal figure of French theatre.
Premiered in 1928, it was Marcel Pagnol's first theatrical success. The edition features cover illustration by Sempé and has been adapted to film several times.
For readers of French classics, students of French literature and followers of Marcel Pagnol.
