Book Overview

""The Art of Being Bored: A Comedy in Three Acts"" is a play written by Edouard Pailleron and originally published in 1920. The story follows the lives of two wealthy families, the Lenglum�����s and the Chavignols, as they navigate the social expectations of their class and struggle to find meaning in their privileged lives. The play is a satire of the upper classes and their preoccupation with superficiality and idleness, as the characters engage in various activities to pass the time, from playing cards to attending the opera. Through witty dialogue and humorous situations, Pailleron exposes the absurdity of their lifestyles and challenges them to find purpose beyond their wealth and status. ""The Art of Being Bored"" is a timeless commentary on the human condition and the pursuit of happiness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
