The Candidate is a humorous political drama play written by the renowned French author Gustave Flaubert. The play is divided into four acts and revolves around the character of Monsieur Homais, a pharmacist who decides to run for political office. The story is set in a small town in France and explores the comical and satirical aspects of local politics. Monsieur Homais' campaign is riddled with mishaps and absurdities, from his attempts to appeal to different interest groups to his comical speeches and debates. Along the way, the play also touches on themes of corruption, power, and the absurdity of politics. Flaubert's witty writing style and sharp observations make The Candidate a hilarious and entertaining read, while also offering a commentary on the nature of politics and human folly.1904. Four-act play from Flaubert, a French novelist of the realist school, best-known for his story of Madame Bovary.
