A must have!,

This review is from: Eight Great Comedies (Mass Market Paperback)
If you love classic comedies, this is the book to have. It contains the wonderful work of some of the greatest comedies of ancient times to the twentieth century. The book starts with Aristophanes's "The clouds," to Machiavelli's "Mandragola," Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," Moliere's "The Miser," John Gay's "The Beggar's Opera," to Oscar wilde's "the Importance of being Earnest", Anton Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya," and ends with George Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man."
This book is a pleasure to read and a treasure to keep.

This review is from: Eight Great Comedies (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought Eight Great Comedies to replace a water-damaged edition that was at least 45 years old. It has remained in print for all these years for eight very good reasons.

This review is from: Eight Great Comedies (Mass Market Paperback)
I wish these comedies (at least the 1st) were put on mass media. They would make great comedies; too bad for political correctness though. I doubt they will ever make it.
