Description

The Misanthrope by Molière is a comedy of errors that satirizes the hypocrisies of French aristocratic society. Written in 17th century France, this play draws upon the author's bourgeoisie upbringing to explore the relationship between Alceste, a French gentleman who laments the superficiality of society life, and Célimène, a woman who epitomizes the courtly manners that Alceste despises.

First performed during Molière's time with traveling troupes in the French provinces, this edition has been translated by Henri Van Laun and includes an introduction by Eleanor F. Jourdain. Printed on premium acid-free paper, it offers a unique insight into one of France's most celebrated comedians.

This volume presents one of Molière's most popular works, showcasing the author's skill in crafting a witty and engaging story that continues to entertain audiences today.
