La Joie Fait Peur: Comedie En Un Acte (1865) is a play written by Emile De Girardin. The title translates to Joy is Scary: Comedy in One Act. The play follows the story of a wealthy woman named Madame de Monluc who is constantly seeking happiness and joy in her life. She invites her friends over to celebrate her birthday, but as the night progresses, she becomes more and more paranoid that her happiness will be taken away from her. The play explores themes of materialism, fear, and the pursuit of happiness. It was first performed in Paris in 1865 and is considered a classic of French theatre.With English Notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
