«Les Femmes Savantes» is the five-act stage comedy by Molière, published by Editions Larousse in paperback (224 pages, in French).
A satire of pedantry and intellectual affectation: a lady with no literary judgment decides to set up a learned salon and is fascinated by Trissotin, a false flattering poet she wants as a son-in-law; her daughter, however, loves Clitandre. Molière ridicules apparent knowledge and raises the balance between culture and everyday life.
Comedy in five acts and in alexandrines, originally published in 1672. Classiques Larousse collection, complete text, with annotated and commented edition.
Recommended for students of French literature and readers interested in classical seventeenth-century theater.
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".
