«Le Médecin malgré lui» is Molière's comedy, published by Nathan in paperback (160 pages, in French).
The play follows Sganarelle, a woodcutter who mistreats his wife Martine; to take revenge, she passes him off as a prodigious doctor. From there, the entanglements follow: the false doctor must attend to a young woman who has lost her speech, while Molière turns the farce into a satire against the medicine of his time.
The play was originally published in 1666; this school edition belongs to Nathan's Carrés Classiques collection and includes the complete text.
Intended for secondary school students and for those who wish to read Molière in his original version.
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".
