Book Overview
""The Litigants: A Comedy"" is a play written by French playwright Jean Racine in 1715. The play revolves around two families, the Sotenvilles and the Dandinis, who are involved in a legal dispute over an inheritance. The Sotenvilles are a wealthy family who are trying to prevent the Dandinis from claiming their rightful share of the inheritance. The Dandinis, on the other hand, are a middle-class family who are determined to fight for what is rightfully theirs. The play is a satire on the French legal system and the corruption and greed that often accompany legal disputes. It is also a commentary on the social and economic divisions that existed in France at the time. The play is written in rhymed couplets and is considered one of Racine's most successful comedies. It is a humorous and witty portrayal of the legal system and the people who are caught up in it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
