«Tartufo» is Molière’s satirical comedy, published by Editorial Seix Barral in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
Tartufo feigns extreme piety and wins the trust of the bourgeois Orgón, who comes to prefer him to his own family. Molière’s comedy ridicules religious hypocrisy and credulity in a chain of absurd mix-ups. The play, which in its time suffered criticism and bans, retains today its satirical force and comic agility.
Spanish text from the Clásicos de Siempre collection, translated by Carmelo Sánchez Castro. The French original, «Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur», was published in 1664.
For readers of classical theatre and satirical comedy; it is also one of the usual school readings.
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".
