The Candidate is a politically-themed play written by Gustave Flaubert, divided into four acts. It is a humorous commentary on the nature of politics, and the various absurdities and hypocrisies that often accompany it. The story follows the character of Monsieur Jacques, a man who is running for a political office in a small French town. Throughout the play, Jacques encounters a variety of challenges and obstacles, from dealing with his overly-enthusiastic campaign team, to navigating the complex web of political alliances and rivalries in the town. Along the way, he is forced to confront his own flaws and weaknesses, and to question the true motivations behind his desire for power. With sharp wit and biting satire, The Candidate offers a unique perspective on the world of politics, and the ways in which it can both inspire and corrupt those who seek to participate in it.1904. Four-act play from Flaubert, a French novelist of the realist school, best-known for his story of Madame Bovary.
