Books and Chocolate 2017 Classic Reading Challege. A book in translation.
In 17th Century Sicily, Mascarille, a clever valet, attempts to help his employer Lélie win the girl he desires. However, Mascarille discovers that Lélie is a dunce who ruins every one of his intricate schemes. A determined Mascarille invents wilder plots, only to see each of his best-laid plans fouled. Translated by Richard Wilbur. This is playwright Moliere's first full length comedy. It is often overlooked by Americans, but then most of Moliere's plays are overlooked by Americans.
