Beschreibung

Messidor: Drame Lyrique En Quatre Actes Et Cinq Tableaux (1897) is a play written by the French author Emile Zola. The play is set in the French countryside and follows the lives of two sisters, Claire and Janine, who are struggling to survive in a world dominated by men. The play explores themes of love, jealousy, and betrayal as the sisters navigate their relationships with the men in their lives.
