«Don Juan; Tartufo» is the theater volume bringing together two comedies by Molière, published by RBA in hardcover (156 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together two classic comedies of French theater. In Don Juan, the protagonist, a seducer, defies morality and social conventions; in Tartufo, a false devotee takes advantage of the credulity of those who welcome him. Both pieces mix the comic and the dramatic to show how hypocrisy drives social relations.
Volume 13 of the Historia de la literatura collection, with an introduction by Alain Verjat and a translation by José Escué.
Suitable for readers new to the classics of French theater and for school reading.
Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name Molière, was a French playwright, actor, and poet, widely regarded as one of the great writers in the French language and world literature. His extant works include comedies, farces, tragicomedies, comédie-ballets, and more. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed at the Comédie-Française more often than those of any other playwright today. His influence is such that the French language is often referred to as the "language of Molière".
