    Résumé

    This volume brings together four verse translations of Molière's greatest comedies covering the best years of his prolific writing career. Actor, director, and playwright, Molière (1622-73) was one of the finest and most influential French dramatists, adept at portraying human foibles and puncturing pomposity. The School for Wives was his first great success; Tartuffe, condemned and banned for five years, his most controversial play. The Misanthrope is his acknowledged masterpiece, and The Clever Women his last, and perhaps best-constructed, verse piece. In addition this collection includes a spirited attack on his enemies and a defence of his theatre, in the form of two sparkling short prose plays, The School for Wives Criticized and The Impromptu at Versailles. These lively new translations are both accurate and eminently performable. They complement the edition of Molière's prose plays in Oxford World's Classics, Don Juan and Other Plays.

     Molière
    Souvent étudiées à l'école pour leurs qualités d'écriture et leurs capacités à traverser les siècles, les pièces de Molière revendiquent un certain modernisme. Né à Paris le 15 janvier 1622, Molière, de son vrai nom, Jean Baptiste Poquelin, est mort des suites d'une longue maladie le 17 février 1673. De par le caractère inventif et original de ses oeuvres, il reçoit, à son époque, la protection du frère du roi et connait un grand succès. Figure emblématique de notre pays, il a laissé une trace indélébile dans notre histoire. N'appelle-t'on pas d'ailleurs la langue française "Langue de Molière" ? Avec Les Fourberies de Scapin et Dom Juan, découvrez un style théâtral ayant marqué son temps. Des intrigues et une morale modernes, un aspect comique à la finesse reconnue... laissez-vous séduire par ce pilier de l'enseignement littéraire français. Grand format, poche ou e-book, nous vous offrons l'occasion d'apprécier les plus grands classiques du genre théâtral tels que Le Cid de Pierre Corneille ou Roméo et Juliette de William Shakespeare. Nous vous proposons aussi le célèbre Candide de Voltaire, souvent adapté au théâtre par les plus grands metteurs en scène.
