«Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme» is Molière's comedy-ballet, published by Bordas Editions in paperback (127 pages, in French).
The play satirizes the obsession of Monsieur Jourdain, a wealthy bourgeois who wants to be treated as a nobleman and therefore takes lessons in dance, singing, fencing and philosophy. His pretensions clash with his family and provoke comic misunderstandings about his desire to rise socially.
Comedy-ballet in five acts in prose, originally published in 1670. This edition belongs to the Univers des Lettres Bordas collection and is presented as the complete text.
Its French edition makes it suitable for students of the French language and for those who want to read a classic comedy 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".
