Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name Molière, was a French playwright, actor, and poet, widely regarded as one of the great writers in the French language and world 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 is often referred to as the "language of Molière".

Molière was born in Paris in 1622 and received his education at the most prestigious schools of his time.
Although his father served the king, Molière preferred to dedicate his life to satirizing the aristocracy rather than joining them.
From a very young age, he discovered his talent for comedy by mimicking his mother's priest.
The author excelled in multiple roles as a playwright, actor, stage director, and theater manager.
His legacy includes masterpieces of farce and comedy such as Tartuffe, The Miser, and The Imaginary Invalid.
