Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Of all the French dramatists, it is Molière (1622–73) who had the greatest sense of fun and he who, single-handed, transformed earthbound comedy into art. The Misanthrope, a drama of true love unrequited, is his knowledge masterpiece. As the portrait of a man doomed to a social wilderness because he cannot bow to convention nor compromise his principles, it is a comedy taken it the limit where laughter touches on grief. Also in this volume are Tartuffe, the first great comedy of human obsession (in this case, religion); The Imaginary Invalid, a joyful and absurd burlesque on the doctor-patient relationship; A Doctor in Spite of Himself, Molière's most famous farce; and The Sicilian, a comédie-ballet.
