«El Tartufo» is the stage comedy by Molière, published by FisicalBook in paperback (85 pages, in Spanish).
The play recounts how Tartufo, an impostor who feigns extreme religious devotion, gains the trust of Orgon, a well-off merchant, and moves into his home. Beneath this false piety he conceals his true intentions, and the plot follows the other characters' attempts to unmask him before he can carry out his deceptions and bring ruin upon the family.
The original version premiered in 1664. This Spanish edition was retranslated by Enrique Llovet and belongs to the Escena Collection.
It will appeal to readers of classical theatre and to those wishing to discover one of the most celebrated satires in French literature.
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".
