«El avaro; El enfermo imaginario» is the theater volume by Molière, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (248 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together two comedies from Molière's final period. «El avaro» presents a man dominated by avarice, while «El enfermo imaginario» satirizes medicine with a hypochondriac as protagonist. Both works combine humor with criticism of the social conventions of their time.
The volume belongs to the Letras Universales collection (no. 123), with edition and notes by Francisco Javier Hernández, translation by Carlos Ortega. Tenth edition.
With introduction and notes, it is useful for readers of classical theater and for the study of seventeenth-century French comedy.
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".
