«El malalt imaginari» is the play by Molière, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (96 pages, in Catalan).
Satirical comedy in which Molière portrays an imaginary invalid who lives in anguish over his health, surrounded by doctors who exploit his credulity. The play ridicules seventeenth-century medical knowledge and a pedantic society, combining agile dialogue, farcical humor and social criticism.
Catalan translation by Josep Carner. Part of the Petita Biblioteca Universal collection. The work was originally written in French.
For readers of classical theater and satirical humor; also a common reading in schools.
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".
