Many words or phrases used in Molière's plays are still used in current French. Born Jean~Baptiste Poquelin, baptised 15 January 1622; died 17 February 1673, Moliere was a French playwright, actor and poet, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the French language and universal 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 itself is often referred to as the "language of Molière". (Wikipedia). Seller Inventory # 6091903
