Sobre IBD

The Plain Dealer is a play written by William Wycherley in the late 17th century. The play is a comedy that satirizes the manners and morals of the English upper class society of the time. The main character, Jack, is a plain-speaking, honest man who is disgusted by the hypocrisy and pretensions of the aristocracy. He falls in love with a wealthy widow, Olivia, but faces opposition from her snobbish and manipulative family. Through a series of comical misunderstandings and plot twists, Jack is able to expose the faults of the upper class and win the heart of his beloved. The play is known for its witty dialogue, sharp social commentary, and memorable characters. It is considered a classic of Restoration comedy and has been adapted for the stage and screen numerous times.Man. Nay, good young gentleman, enough, for shame! Thou hast been a page, by thy flattering and lying, to one of those praying ladies who love flattery so well they are jealous of it; and wert turned away for saying the same things to the old housekeeper for sweetmeats, as you did to your lady; for thou flatterest everything and everybody alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
