Book Overview

Regolstein: A Comedy is a play written by French playwright Henri Meilhac and first published in 1878. The play is set in a fictional European country called Regolstein and follows the story of a young prince who is forced to marry a woman he does not love in order to secure his family's political power. However, the prince falls in love with another woman and must navigate the complex political and social dynamics of Regolstein to try and secure his happiness. The play is a satire of European aristocracy and politics, and Meilhac uses humor and wit to comment on the absurdity of the social norms and expectations of the time. Regolstein: A Comedy is a classic example of French comedic theater and remains popular among audiences and scholars alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
