Sinopse

2018 Reprint of 1958 Edition.á Much-studied and frequently performed, this comedy by the great Elizabethan playwright Ben Jonson satirizes the greed, mendacity, gullibility, and pretension of seventeenth-century London society. In Volpone (1605), a crafty rich man attempts to augment his wealth by feigning a mortal illness. His wealthy neighbors, spying the opportunity for an inheritance, vie with each other in courting the &ldquo,dying&rdquo, man&rsquo,s favor. áThe play abounds in colorful characters, ingenious plotting, biting wit, and sharp insight into human nature.á Edited by Jonas Barish.
