«L'École des femmes» is Molière's five-act comedy, published by Hachette in paperback (191 pages, in French).
Arnolphe, a mature man who fears being deceived, has raised young Agnès in ignorance to make her a submissive wife. When she meets Horace and falls in love, his plans collapse. The play satirizes the restrictive education of women and possessive jealousy, combining amorous intrigue with ironic retorts.
The play premiered on December 26, 1662 at the Palais-Royal in Paris. This edition from the Les Classiques Hachette collection includes the complete text with notes, questionnaires and teaching material.
For secondary school students and readers who want to approach classical French theatre in its original version.
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".
