A Commedia DellÀrte to fall in love!,
By Filerimos "Filerimos" (Bayern) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modeste mignon (Paperback)
Who Shakespeare`s "Much ado about nothing`s" like, will like Balzac`s Modeste Mignon, too!
An economic crisis rips Modeste`s father out of business. He leaves Le Havre to get back to new wealth. Modeste (after the death of her sister and after the absence of her father) the only child of her parents sees suddenly herself "guarded" of her mother and their remaining friends. They feared Modeste, as before her sister, plane to run off with a young man. Modeste (after the loss of wealth of the family) has taken refuge in the world of books and leaves the house almost never. Suddenly she sees herself confronted with subliminal tests/remarks, whose task it is to reveal her lover. Secretly she raves for a famous Parisian poet and decide to write him a letter. It develops an intimate correspondence. What Modeste did not know is, that not the poet write the letters, but his amanuensis. After the return of her father, now rich again, this illusion is stripped. Dissapointed by this, she decides, that er father sould make the desicion to select her a suitable husband. At this point then beginns the true Commedia DellÀrte. Her father let her the choise (and testing) between three candidates (the poet, the amanuensis and an duke).
