TaschenbuchKartoniert, Paperback
160 Seiten

Northwestern University Presserschienen am30.09.2012
Adapted from Molière´s The Misanthrope, David Ives´s The School for Lies tells the comic tale of Frank, who shares with Molière´s Alceste a venomous hatred of the hypocrisy that surrounds him. Like his predecessor, Frank gets into trouble for insulting the work of a dreadful poet and falls in love with Celimene, a witty widow. In Ives´s madcap version, however, Celimene returns Frank´s affection because she wrongly believes him to be King Louis XIV´s bastard brother. Borrowing from Shakespeare, reality TV, and everything in between, The School for Lies is an inspired entertainment as well as a pointed study in self-delusion, all rendered in sparkling couplets.mehr
