Read full description of the books:

« La plus badine des intrigues. Un grand seigneur espagnol, amoureux d’une jeune fille qu’il veut séduire, et les efforts que cette fiancée, celui qu’elle doit épouser, et la femme du seigneur, réunissent pour faire échouer dans son dessein un maître absolu, que son rang, sa fortune et sa prodigalité rendent tout-puissant pour l’accomplir. Voilà tout, rien de plus. » Dans sa préface du Mariage, Beaumarchais s’étonne de la polémique déclenchée par cette comédie conçue, à la demande du prince de Conti, comme une suite à la vie de Figaro évoquée dans la préface du Barbier de Séville (1775).

Read information about the author

Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais was a French playwright, watchmaker, inventor, musician, diplomat, fugitive, spy, publisher, horticulturalist, arms dealer, satirist, financier, and revolutionary (both French and American).

Born a provincial watchmaker's son, Beaumarchais rose in French society and became influential in the court of Louis XV as an inventor and music teacher. He made a number of important business and social contacts, played various roles as a diplomat and spy, and had earned a considerable fortune before a series of costly court battles jeopardized his reputation.

An early French supporter of American independence, Beaumarchais lobbied the French government on behalf of the American rebels during the American War of Independence. Beaumarchais oversaw covert aid from the French and Spanish governments to supply arms and financial assistance to the rebels in the years before France's formal entry into the war in 1778. He later struggled to recover money he had personally invested in the scheme. Beaumarchais was also a participant in the early stages of the French Revolution. He is probably best known, however, for his theatrical works, especially the three Figaro plays.
