«Le Misanthrope» is Molière's comedy, published by Larousse Editions in paperback (191 pages, in French).
The play centres on Alceste, a man who defends absolute sincerity and clashes with the hypocrisy of Parisian society. His desire to secure a private meeting with Célimène, a flirtatious young woman at ease in the salons, triggers the conflict between authenticity and social adaptation. Molière leaves open the question of who is right, between the sincere misfit and the well-adjusted hypocrites.
The book belongs to Larousse's Petits Classiques collection and includes the complete text of the play, with annotations and resources aligned with the French school curriculum.
Recommended for students of French and readers interested in classical French theatre, as the edition is designed for classroom use.
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".
