Georges Courteline’s comic plays

New Italian translations of Georges Courteline’s comic plays, following the last official publication in book form, which dates back to the 1960s.
An author who, through his one-act plays and sketches, has shaped the history of French theatre by ‘observing the flaws and quirks of his contemporaries, their marvellous recklessness, their boundless selfishness, and their savage childishness. He delves into the lives of the humble, the mediocre and the resigned, with a humour that is always veiled in admirable kindness. This is what gives his theatre a depth that leaves us feeling distressed after it has amused us’.

Here you can find the texts in full PDF format (others will be translated into Italian in the future):
