«El médico a palos» is a volume of theater by Molière that brings together three comedies, published by Editorial Edaf in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
Three comedies by Molière. In the title piece, Sganarelle, a lazy woodcutter, is presented as a doctor by his wife Martina and treats a young woman who pretends to be ill to avoid marrying an imposed suitor. The ridiculing of pedantry, hypochondria and social conventions completes the collection.
2007 edition, number 132 of the Biblioteca Edaf collection; prologue and chronology by Ángel García Pintado and translation by Enrique Azcoaga.
Recommended for readers of classical theater and seventeenth-century satirical comedy, with an interest in the work of Molière.
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".
