«Knock ou Le triomphe de la médecine» is the three-act comedy by Jules Romains, published by Belin - Gallimard in paperback (160 pages, in French).
Doctor Knock arrives in the town of Saint-Maurice and, with his strange methods, convinces the locals that they are ill; within three months almost no one escapes suffering from an imaginary ailment. Between farce and biting comedy, Jules Romains satirizes the power of medicine and the manipulation of a society terrified by disease.
Part of the Classico Collège collection; edition with complete text and pedagogical dossier (quizzes, exercises and an imaginary interview with the author).
Aimed at the French school context and recommended from the classe de 4e, it also appeals to readers of satirical theater.
Jules Romains was a French poet and writer and the founder of the Unanimism literary movement. His works include the play Knock ou le Triomphe de la médecine, and a cycle of works called Les Hommes de bonne volonté . Sinclair Lewis called him one of the six best novelists in the world.
