Three Masterpieces
Pierre Corneille
Le Cid
by Pierre Corneille, Richard Wilbur
Synopsis
THE STORY: Published in 1636, LE CID was held as an ideal work of drama for years by subsequent playwrights.
In this tragic coming-of-age story, a young knight is asked to defend his father's honor by challenging his future father-in-law to a duel.
Caught between filial devotion and romantic love, LE CID is in an impossible situation, and he solves this dilemma through true heroic action.
