«Le Malade Imaginaire» is Molière's theatrical comedy, published by Hachette in paperback (191 pages, in French).
In this comedy-ballet, Argan, an imaginary invalid, lives surrounded by absurd doctors and remedies. His daughter Angélique is in love with Cléante, but Argan wants to marry her to Doctor Diafoirus. Disguises, cunning servants and family entanglements turn the plot into a satire against medicine and the credulity of its time.
A comedy-ballet in three acts, it was the last play written by Molière. It includes the complete text with notes and belongs to the Classiques Hachette collection (no. 13).
School edition, suitable for French students at B1 level or above.
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".
