«El Tartufo o el impostor» is the play by Molière, published by Espasa Calpe in 1994 in paperback (276 pages, in Spanish).
Comedy by Molière that satirizes social conventions and human weaknesses. Tartuffe, a religious hypocrite dressed as a priest and wearing a hairshirt, is one of Molière's most famous comic characters. The audacity of the play led the king to ban its public performance for five years, for fear of offending the high French clergy.
Edition from the Austral Collection (no. 353), edited and translated by Mauro Armiño. The play was written in 1664 with the original title «Le Tartuffe, ou L'Imposteur».
Edition intended for primary and secondary school students, within seventeenth-century French classical theater.
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".
