«Le Médecin malgré lui» is the three-act comedy written by Molière in 1666, published by Hachette in paperback (78 pages, in French).
The plot follows Sganarelle, a mocking woodcutter who, through the revenge of his wife Martine, ends up passing himself off as a great doctor. From there, misunderstandings pile up and Molière turns the farce into a satire of gullibility and false sages, with the medicine of the time in the spotlight.
It belongs to Hachette's Nouveaux classiques illustrés collection and includes the complete text with notes by Edmond Richer.
Suitable as school reading for French students and for those who want to get started in seventeenth-century French 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".
