Produktbeschreibung
A dazzling blend of wit, theatre history, and fable, Chantecler is an unforgettable Paris stage triumph reborn for modern readers. A provocative animal allegory satire set in a countryside world of vanity and fame, it unfolds with the precision of a period stage play and the lyric spark of French verse drama. This restoration by Alpha Editions makes an enduring classic accessible to today's theatre lovers and to college literature students alike. Laced with theatre within theatre moments and sharpened by Rostand's sharp critique of celebrity, the drama speaks to classic plays enthusiasts and casual readers who relish language, performance, and finely drawn social satire. It's a model of a collectible theatre edition that invites both study and reverent re-reading. Chantecler holds significant place in early twentieth century France and the Paris stage tradition, offering a vivid window into a bygone theatre ecology while remaining oddly contemporary in its questions about ambition, truth, and the price of fame. It appeals to theatre history readers and those seeking a richly cultivated, universal drama-something more than a reprint, a cultural treasure to be treasured and studied for generations. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's and future generations. A genuine collector's item and a cultural treasure for discerning readers.
