About this ebook

Une édition de référence de L’Illusion comique de Pierre Corneille, spécialement conçue pour la lecture sur les supports numériques.

« Clindor

L'amour dont la vertu n'est point le fondement

Se détruit de soi-même, et passe en un moment ;

Mais celui qui nous joint est un amour solide,

Où l'honneur a son lustre, où la vertu préside ;

Sa durée a toujours quelques nouveaux appas,

Et ses fermes liens durent jusqu'au trépas.

Mon âme, derechef pardonne à la surprise

Que ce tyran des cœurs a faite à ma franchise ;

Souffre une folle ardeur qui ne vivra qu'un jour,

Et qui n'affaiblit point le conjugal amour. »

(Extrait de la Scène 3 de l’Acte V.)

    Fairly standard Renaissance fare, except that it adds a new twist, one that would be familiar to modern readers but at the time was unheard of - comedy/tragedy in the same play, for a tragi-comic fable. Though I'm not sure the author is correct about the tragedy. It appears to be a tragedy for a brief moment, but a slight twist ending actually erases the tragedy, bringing it back into comedy mode. Magic realism is also on display here in the form of a sorcerer who can see things happening thousands of miles away, and allow other people to see them, provided they are with him. Not a bad work, but nothing earth-shattering.

    A beautifully translated play, as usually, by Richard Wilbur. The play alternates between comedy, farce, fantasy, romance, and tragedy -- without falling in to any of the conventional classical forms. I preferred both Corneille's The Liar and El Cid (each of which have only some of the above qualities), but this one is also enjoyable.
