«Les Précieuses ridicules» is Molière's theatrical farce, published by Larousse in paperback (125 pages, in French).
In this one-act farce, two young provincial women newly arrived in Paris seek love and wit, but scorn two suitors for lacking refinement. Their affectation and vanity lead to a ridiculous punishment that Molière uses to satirize preciosity, snobbery, and the mannered language of certain social circles.
Complete edition from the Larousse Petits Classiques collection (number 14), with an introductory dossier, quizzes, and playful exercises for schoolwork.
Aimed at secondary school students studying French literature and at those seeking a didactic edition of classical theatre.
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".
