«El avaro» is the comedy by Molière (Jean-Baptiste Poquelin), published by Mestas Ediciones, S.L. in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
Classic comedy about Harpagon, a widower whose extreme avarice turns his house into a place of deprivation and suspicion. The play uses ridicule and exaggerated situations to provoke laughter, showing without explicit moral how a lack of common sense can drive a character to extremes.
Part of the Clásicos universales collection (no. 35). Spanish translation by Julia Martín; original French work published in 1668.
For those who enjoy classic French theatre and Molière's comedy, as well as for readers approaching it in a school setting.
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".
