Illusion Comique | 
pickI tagged the book to explain my name, but I can't leave it in the shadow!
It's a play by Pierre Corneille, and to describe it in his own words, it is 《Un étrange monstre》( a strange monster). If you like theater and want to read a french classic, go for it. It's really funny and the plot is amazing.
P.S. The title in english is " The Illusion"... It miss the comical part and the pun!
cornfedwellread I have a copy of Le Cid in French, but I haven't heard of this one. I'll have to see if I can find it. This year I'm trying to challenge myself to read more in French so I don't completely lose the language now that I'm not taking classes. 6y
Sic_Corneille @therealdealbeall I don't know your level of French, but Le Cid won't be a piece of cake. There is words in old French as well as in Spanish, and a lot of figure of speech (not sure of the translation here). The Illusion is far more accessible :) 6y
cornfedwellread @Sic_Corneille Thanks for the tip! I read Le Cid in English in college, so I'm familiar with the story. My degree is in Medieval Studies, so I've actually collected a few things that are written in old French, with the optimistic thought that I'll one day read them. 🤓 6y
