«Amphitryon» is Molière's play, published by Larousse Kingfisher Chambers in hardback and in Spanish.
In Amphitryon, the appearance of two identical characters sets off a tangle of identities and misunderstandings. The cover illustration shows precisely two symmetrical figures, in period costumes and feathered headdresses. The piece belongs to the classic repertoire of 17th-century French theatre.
Amphitryon was originally published in 1668; this particular edition appeared in March 1999 in the Classiques Larousse collection.
Intended for students of literature and classical theatre, and for readers interested in the French dramatic repertoire of the 17th century.
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".
