Synopsis
This book presents a new translation of all Moliere's plays. The author has attempted to preserve the genuine spirit, and a faithful and literal translation in prose, conveying ideas and characters as clearly as possible. Moliere's plays are divided into six groups: small dramatic poems or pastorals, farces, comedies, critical short pieces, those with a particular focus, and early attempts. They display humanity in all its aspects, capturing vice and folly with all necessary consequences. Moliere often satirizes hypocrites, quacks, affectation of learning amongst ladies, and snobbishness. Through concise critical judgments, the book analyzes character portrayals within each play. It places Moliere's work within its historical context, examining his influence and contemporaries. The author explores Moliere's incisive expression and clear thought, demonstrating his unique command of language. This new translation will be of great interest to those looking for a better understanding of Moliere's work and its enduring relevance in capturing human nature.
