«El Tartufo» is the theatrical comedy by Molière, published in 1998 by McGraw-Hill Interamericana de España in paperback (184 pages, in Spanish).
The play satirizes religious hypocrisy: Tartufo, an impostor, wins the trust of the wealthy Orgon with false displays of devotion and moves into his house, where he tries to take advantage of the family by seducing the wife and marrying the daughter.
«El Tartufo» premiered in 1664 under the original title «Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur». The McGraw-Hill edition belongs to the Clásicos Literarios collection.
Due to its didactic nature, it is aimed at literature students and fans of classical theatre.
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".
