Don Garcia of Navarre is a classic French play written by Jean Baptiste Poquelin, who is better known by his stage name, Moliere. The play is set in 17th century Spain and follows the story of Don Garcia, a young nobleman who is in love with a woman named Dona Elvira. However, Don Garcia's father has arranged for him to marry another woman, Dona Juana, in order to secure a political alliance.Don Garcia is torn between his duty to his family and his love for Dona Elvira. He enlists the help of his servant, Mosquito, to try and win Dona Elvira's heart. Along the way, he gets into various comedic misadventures and encounters a variety of colorful characters, including a group of bandits and a wise old hermit.The play explores themes of love, duty, and honor, and is filled with witty dialogue and humorous situations. It is considered one of Moliere's lesser-known works, but is still widely studied and performed today.To speak my mind freely to you, I am not much astonished at anything the Prince may do; for it is very natural, and I cannot disapprove of it, that a soul inflamed by a noble passion should become exasperated by jealousy, and that frequent doubts should cross his mind: but what surprises me, Don Lopez, is to hear that you keep alive his suspicions; that you are the contriver of them; that he is sad only because you wish it, jealous only because he looks at everything with your eyes. I repeat it, Don Lopez, I do not wonder that a man who is greatly in love becomes suspicious.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
