A comedy that gives a philosophy lesson!

I had studied being very young college this comedy of Labiche, I was always reminded of his argument and especially its conclusion ... A beautiful lesson in philosophy, with very simple words. I wanted to read it again and am very happy ... This is what happens to those who would remember more: Mr. Perrichon is a rich bourgeois of the Second Empire, a bodybuilder who has well earned its life. Here one thinks of Mr. Jordan. He takes his wife and daughter on vacation in Switzerland by train. In Chamonix (note that around 1860, Chamonix is ​​not yet French). Follow Daniel and Armand, 2 suitors Miss Perrichon ... The first day, he went on Perrichon sea ice is dropped, and he is saved by Armand. Then the next day, starting again ride, Mr. Perrichon in turn saves Daniel fell into a hole! ... And Mr. Perrichon give all his affection to Daniel that he "saved" more than Armand its own savior ... The conclusion is grandiose: "... there are only idiots know not bear this crushing burden called recognition ".
