«Le Misanthrope» is Molière's comedy, published by Bordas in the Nouveaux Classiques Larousse collection, in paperback (136 pages, in French).
Comedy of manners in five acts in verse. Molière satirizes the hypocrisy of the French aristocracy: Alceste denounces others' falseness without seeing his own, while getting entangled with the coquettish Célimène. Unlike the farces of his time, the play favors character complexity and dialogue nuance over intrigue.
The full title is «Le Misanthrope ou l'Atrabilaire amoureux». The play was originally published in 1666. This edition includes thematic documentation and character analysis (8 men, 3 women).
For students of French literature and seventeenth-century classical theater; this edition includes didactic material for studying the work.
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".
