The Bungler Audiobook (Free)

In 17th Century Sicily, a clever valet named Mascarille tries to help his boss Lélie win the girl of his dreams — and then find that Lélie is a monumental dunce who ruins each one of his intricate schemes. Undaunted, Mascarille invents progressively wilder plots, only to discover his best-laid programs go very awry in Molière’s The Bungler. Translated by Richard Wilbur.
