810 editions published between 1637 and 2020 in 16 languages and held by 6,104 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

Corneille's Horace by
Pierre Corneille(
)
355 editions published between 1656 and 2019 in 8 languages and held by 2,894 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

170 editions published between 1724 and 2019 in 9 languages and held by 938 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Corneille, on le sait maintenant, était un profond analyste de la vie et du pouvoir politiques. Il raconte ici l'échec d'une conjuration - seule forme d'opposition sous la dictature - et le pardon qui la suit. Sous l'intrigue apparente, et historique, il a voulu montrer le drame du pouvoir vieillissant, de l'opposition impuissante, des individus dépassés par des forces qui les écrasent. Cette tragédie n'a donc rien perdu de sa puissance, ni de son actualité. "--Résumé de l'éditeur
