Анотація:
Regarded by critics as one of the greatest comedies of England s Restoration Period, Congreve s The Way of the World tells the story of Mirabell and Millamant, two lovers seeking marriage against the wishes of the latter s aunt, Lady Wishfort. Knowing that they will not receive Millamant s full dowry without the resentful Lady Wishfort s blessing, the lovers go to enormous lengths to secure their inheritance and vindicate their love. A scathing satire that has thrilled audiences since its 1700 première, The Way of the World remains a timeless parody on love, happiness, and material gain.
