«Les femmes savantes» is Molière's comedy, published by Larousse in paperback (in French).
The comedy mocks those who cultivate superficial and pretentious erudition in seventeenth-century France. In a bourgeois family, the mother, the aunt, and the sister of young Henriette, fascinated by the pedantic Trissotin, want to marry her to him, although she loves Clitandre. Against them, the father defends common sense amid comic disputes over culture and marriage.
It includes the complete text and belongs to the Larousse Classics collection; the comedy was originally published in 1672 and features thirteen characters (five women and eight men).
Suitable for literature students and for readers who want to enjoy 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".
