Der Parasit, oder, die Kunst sein Glück zu machen by Schiller and Picard
"Der Parasit, oder, die Kunst sein Glück zu machen" by Schiller and Picard is a comedy adapted in 1803. Based on Louis-Benoît Picard's 1797 French play, Schiller's German version tells the story of Selicour, a cunning hypocrite who schemes his way into the favor of an honest new minister. Through manipulation and deception, he positions himself to win a coveted diplomatic post and the minister's daughter's hand in marriage. But his calculated
methods may ultimately entrap him in his own web of lies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
