About This Book

Una raccolta di drammi in prosa che mette in scena la vita mondana di aristocratici e borghesi, con un lungo dramma in quattro atti ambientato in salotti dove conversazioni animate, relazioni sentimentali e strategie per tutelare la reputazione si intrecciano. Il tono oscilla tra satira e leggerezza: i dialoghi vivaci espongono vanità, gelosie, compromessi sociali e tensioni coniugali. Alcuni intermezzi e un atto unico completano il volume con scene comiche e riflessioni morali, offrendo uno sguardo sulle contraddizioni e i rituali dei costumi sociali.
