«Le Misanthrope» is the five-act comedy by Molière, published by Hachette in paperback (191 pages, in French).
The play revolves around Alceste, a man who detests falsehood and flattery and decides to always tell the truth, even if it clashes with seventeenth-century social conventions. His intransigent attitude pits him against the hypocrisy of the world around him and his love affair, in a comedy with verse dialogues.
This edition, published in 1992, belongs to the Classiques Hachette collection (no. 18) and includes the complete text.
Edition intended for secondary school students and for those approaching classical French 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".
