«Les femmes savantes» is the stage comedy by Molière, published by Hachette Education in paperback (191 pages, in French).
Henriette and Clitandre love each other, but her mother, Philaminte, prefers Trissotin, a false scholar and mediocre poet who rules the family literary salon, as a son-in-law. The play satirizes pedantry and the cult of affected culture, contrasting the good sense of the father and uncle with the vanity of certain «learned» ladies.
School edition from the Classiques Hachette collection with complete text, notes, study questions and thematic guide by Hubert Carrier.
Intended for students of French and for anyone wanting to read a classic of French theatre with educational support.
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".
