Le Roman Comique
À propos de ce livre
"Le Roman Comique" by Paul Scarron is a novel published in two parts in 1651 and 1657. A traveling theater troupe arrives in Le Mans, launching a series of comic and adventurous escapades. The narrative weaves between present-day theatrical mishaps and embedded tales of love and intrigue, including the romantic flight of Garrigues and Mlle de La Boissière. At its center is Ragotin, a vain and ridiculous dwarf whose farcical misadventures provide comic relief. Scarron died while working on the third part, leaving this vibrant portrait of seventeenth-century theatrical life unfinished.
