The book includes five plays in total, each with its own introduction and notes to help readers better understand the context and themes of the works.The first play in the collection is Le Cid by Pierre Corneille, a tragicomedy that explores themes of love, honor, and duty. The second play is Tartuffe by Moliere, a satirical comedy that critiques religious hypocrisy and the abuse of power. The third play is Phedre by Jean Racine, a tragedy that delves into the destructive power of passion and jealousy. The fourth play is L'Illusion Comique by Pierre Corneille, a play that blurs the lines between reality and illusion. The final play in the collection is The Misanthrope by Moliere, a comedy that satirizes the social conventions and hypocrisy of 17th-century French society.Overall, French Classics V1: A Selection Of Plays By Corneille, Moliere And Racine is a comprehensive introduction to the works of three of the most important playwrights in French literature.
