About this book
Peines d'amour perdues Comédie by William Shakespeare bursts with nimble wordplay and courtly mischief, a comedy that showcases the young bard’s ear for language and satire. Often known in English as Love’s Labour’s Lost, this play skewers pedantry, romantic vows, and the fashionable affectations of an Elizabethan court while balancing sparkling banter with moments of genuine feeling.
Set against a backdrop of scholars, swaggering soldiers, and would‑be lovers, the drama follows witty characters like Biron and Rosaline, whose clever sparring anticipates Shakespeare’s later comic pairings, alongside the absurdly proud Don Adriano Armado and a chorus of comic foils. Written in the late 1580s–early 1590s and likely drawing on continental sources, the play captures the intellectual tastes and social satire of its time, offering sharp commentary on language, gender, and youthful folly without giving away its twists.
Ideal for listeners who love classic literature, Shakespearean comedy, or lively audio performance, this audiobook brings the rhythmic verse and brilliant repartee to life—perfect for theatre lovers, students, and anyone drawn to witty, character‑driven plays.
