«Der Geizige» is Molière's comedy in five acts, published by Suhrkamp Verlag AG in paperback (140 pages, in German).
Harpagon is an old man whose avarice borders on the absurd: he reports a neighbour's cat for eating a leftover piece of lamb, lends at usury the money he denies his own son, and is willing to marry his daughter to anyone who will take her without a dowry. His passion for gold clashes even with his supposed attraction to Mariane.
Volume in the Suhrkamp BasisBibliothek (number 136), with text and commentary. Translation from French into German by Hartmut Stenzel and commentary by Andrea Neuhaus.
Study edition aimed at the school context, suitable for secondary school students working on Molière's play in German.
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".
