«Le Bourgeois gentilhomme» is Molière's comedy-ballet, published by Gerard Hamon in paperback (232 pages, in French).
The play follows Monsieur Jourdain, a wealthy bourgeois who wants to imitate the nobility and hires teachers of music, dance, fencing and philosophy. His vanity makes him a target for flatterers, and Molière satirises social hypocrisy and snobbery. It includes the famous prose scene and a farcical ending.
Comedy-ballet in five acts and in prose, originally published in 1670; this edition belongs to the Classiques Larousse collection.
Intended for secondary school students studying French literature and for readers of classical theatre who prefer an annotated school edition.
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".
