Description
These are the best of Molière's masterful one-acts, blending broad farce and pointed wit to express his never-ending delight in human foibles. But Molière is more than just the “master of the laugh ” for behind the comic gestures of these matchless rogues, tight-fisted masters, possessive lovers and elegant ladies lurk fears, insecurities and their consequences. Includes: The Jealous Husband, The Flying Doctor, Two Precious Maidens Ridiculed, The Imaginary Cuckold, The Rehearsal at Versailles, The Forced Marriage, The Seductive Mistress.

I didn't know what to expect from this brash cover, but I need not have worried.The plays - which are most of the one-acters, and certainly all the significant ones -are delightful, and in any case they form an important part of the Moliere canon.The translation and general critical apparatus is, as far as I can tell, excellent.To be honest, I couldn't put the volume down! Buy it, amis!
