«L'Avare» is Molière's five-act comedy, published by Larousse in paperback (141 pages, in French).
A widowed father, obsessed with his money, carries his avarice to the point of refusing to pay for his two children's marriages. From that conflict unfolds a comedy of errors, with scheming servants and unexpected suitors, satirizing greed and its effects on family life.
It belongs to the Classiques Larousse collection, with an annotated edition by Léon Lejealle and an introduction, explanatory notes, thematic documentation, critical judgments, a questionnaire, and homework topics.
Scholarly approach; suitable for secondary school students and for readers approaching classical French theater 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".
