«Le Tartuffe, ou l'Imposteur» is Molière's comedy, published by Hachette in paperback (174 pages, in French).
Le Tartuffe is a comedy by Molière that satirizes religious hypocrisy. Tartuffe, an unscrupulous impostor, wins the trust of the wealthy bourgeois Orgon by feigning exemplary piety and nearly ruins his family: he tries to seduce his wife, marry his daughter, and drive out his son.
Le Tartuffe, subtitled «comédie, 1664-1669», was banned for five years due to pressure from the court's devout faction. The edition belongs to the Nouveaux classiques illustrés Hachette collection and is established by Émile Lavielle.
This edition includes didactic apparatus (notes, questionnaires, and glossary) and is intended for students of French literature.
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".
