«George Dandin» is the theatrical comedy by Molière, published by Hachette Education in paperback (128 pages, in French).
George Dandin, an enriched peasant, marries Angélique, daughter of a ruined noble family, hoping to buy social prestige. The marriage of convenience turns him into an object of mockery: his wife deceives him and his in-laws despise him. Molière satirizes marriage for convenience, class differences, and social hypocrisy.
The work is also known as «George Dandin ou Le Mari confondu»; this school edition belongs to the Bibliocollège collection and includes a commentary on the work.
Aimed at secondary school students and readers who want to approach classic French literature in its original language.
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".
