Meer over het boek

Richard Wilbur's translations bring to life two notable plays by Pierre Corneille. "Le Cid," a tragedy set in Seville, explores the themes of honor and the limitations of romantic love. In contrast, "The Liar" is a comedic farce set in France, focusing on love and misunderstandings, culminating in a joyful resolution. These translations serve as valuable resources for actors, students, and theater enthusiasts alike.
