Two timeless comedies by one of France's greatest playwrights: "Tartuffe, " a 1664 verse comedy concerning a scoundrel who impersonates a holy man, and the 1670 prose farce "The Bourgeois Gentleman, " a lampoon about the superficial characteristics of Parisian nobility. Original French texts with excellent English interpretations on facing pages.

Condemned and banned for five years in Moliere's day, "Tartuffe "is a satire on religious hypocrisy. Tartuffe worms his way into Orgon's household, blinding the master of the house with his religious "devotion, " and almost succeeds in his attempts to seduce his wife and disinherit his children before the final unmasking.

These are the best of Moliere's masterful one-acts, blending broad farce and pointed wit to express his never-ending delight in human foibles. But Moliere is more than just the "master of the laugh, " for behind the comic gestures of these matchless rogues, tight-fisted masters, possessive lovers and elegant ladies lurk fears, insecurities and their consequences. Includes: The Jealous Husband, The Flying Doctor, Two Precious Maidens Ridiculed,...
