Pierre Corneille(
Book
)
818 editions published between 1637 and 2017 in 17 languages and held by 5,368 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Published in 1636, Le Cid was held as an ideal work of drama for years by subsequent playwrights. In this tragic coming-of-age story, a young knight is asked to defend his father's honor by challenging his future father-in-law to a duel. Caught between filial devotion and romantic love, Le Cid is in an impossible situation, and he solves this dilemma through true heroic action

Polyeucte by
Pierre Corneille(
)
235 editions published between 1643 and 2015 in 7 languages and held by 3,845 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This seventeenth-century drama in five acts was inspired by the tale of Saint Polyeuctus (rendered as 'Polyeucte' in French), a Roman convert to the faith who was martyred in 259 A.D. However, although an imaginatively retold version of the story of St. Polyeuctus comprises some of the plot of the play, Polyeucte also relates metaphorically to the religious debates of the seventeenth century. A must-read for fans of classic drama

Corneille's Horace by
Pierre Corneille(
Book
)
334 editions published between 1656 and 2015 in 8 languages and held by 2,329 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Corneille's Horace (1640), together with its author's Le Cid, launched French classical tragedy. It is a darkly gripping play which speaks directly to our own time. Corneille takes his plot from pre-Republican Roman history - the legendary episode of the triple combat between two sets of brothers to decide a war between Rome and Alba. Horatius's sister, Camilla, is betrothed to his opponent Curiatius, and his wife Sabina is Curiatius's sister. The scene is set for a clash between heroic male commitment to state interests and female values which give prime place to individual feeling. Horace, containing pointed allusion to contemporary French military ambitions, has the power to challenge and disturb modern audiences with its unflinching reckoning of the personal cost of national glory

Un père à la recherche de son fils consulte un magicien qui lui offre la vision des aventures du jeune égaré, faites d'amour, de duels, mais aussi d'impostures et de trahisons... Mêlant éloquence tragique, emprunts au répertoire de la comédie italienne et récit d'initiation, L'Illusion comique (1635), oeuvre de jeunesse, est un "étrange monstre", au dire de Corneille lui-même. Identité fuyante des personnages, invraisemblances de l'intrigue et subtilité du montage illusionniste font de cette pièce baroque et capricieuse une vibrante apologie du théâtre. -- 4ème de couverture
