«Le Médecin malgré lui» is Molière's theatrical comedy, published by Hachette in paperback (95 pages, in French).
Martine, to take revenge on her husband Sganarelle, passes him off as a doctor. The woodcutter, forced to keep up the charade before a bourgeois whose daughter has lost her speech, gets out of the fix with cunning and wit. Molière turns the plot into a satire of the medicine of his time, credulity and absurd remedies.

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".
