About This Book

A comic stage piece follows a rural husband who returns from the city and adopts a grandiose manner to persuade his wife and neighbours that he has become genteel. He invents schemes about foreign-sounding names, clever tricks and selling the household to seek urban status, while his wife balances hunger and ambition. Action shifts to a village of simpletons where local officials and villagers react with credulity, opportunism and misunderstanding. Through farce and misunderstandings the work satirizes social pretension, the power of names and the gap between appearances and practical reality.
