Anthony agrees to divorce his wife Fulvia and marry Octavian's sister; and Octavian wants to marry Julia, Lucius's daughter, who loves Sextus Pompey, son of Pompey the Great. When a storm lands Julia and Pompey Junior on the island, Fulvia agrees to help the star-crossed lovers--if they will aid her in gaining her revenge on Anthony and Octavian. Louis Lurine and Albéric Second's play COMEDY AT FERNEY features an elderly Voltaire, who must put off a starstruck young female fan who wants to meet him. But Voltaire's guest, the Prince de Ligne, decides to use the situation to sample the favors of the infatuated woman. A clever and swift-moving comedy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Voltaire,Louis Lurine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1479400378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781479400379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Borgo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Voltaire","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442278379775,"sku":"9781479400379","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0d96048-ad49-4c53-b4d6-10877202c5a8.jpg?v=1777196319","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/two-voltairean-plays-voltaire-9781479400379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
