«La comèdia de l'olla i El metge a garrotades» is a theater volume bringing together Plaute and Molière, published by Edicions 62 in paperback, with 208 pages and in Catalan.
The volume brings together two classic comedies adapted into Catalan by Francesc Nel·lo: «La comèdia de l'olla», by the Roman playwright Plaute, and «El metge a garrotades», by Molière. Although they belong to different eras and contexts, both share a popular tone and a comic purpose. It includes an introduction to the life and work of the two authors, and a preliminary study with textual commentaries and work proposals edited by Alfred Sargatal.
«La comèdia de l'olla» (Aulularia) is one of Plaute's best-known comedies (250-184 BC). Molière (1622-1673), pseudonym of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, is the author of classics such as «El misantrop» and «L'avar». The book belongs to the Educació 62 collection.
Recommended for students of Catalan and literature and for readers who wish to discover two fundamental pieces of universal comic theater in a school edition.
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".
