Moliere--Four Plays pdf

让-巴蒂斯特·波克兰（Jean-Baptiste Poquelin，1622 年 1 月 15 日至 1673 年 2 月 17 日），艺名莫里哀，是法国剧作家、演员和诗人，被广泛认为是法语和世界文学界最伟大的作家之一。 他现存的作品包括喜剧、闹剧、悲喜剧、喜剧芭蕾等。 他的剧本已被翻译成各种主要的活生生的语言，并且比当今任何其他剧作家的作品更频繁地在法国喜剧剧院上演。 他的影响如此之大，以至于法语通常被称为“莫里哀的语言”。

莫里哀出生于一个富裕的家庭，曾就读于克莱蒙学院（现为路易乐大学校），非常适合在剧院开始生活。 十三年的巡回演员生涯帮助他在开始写作的同时磨练了自己的喜剧能力，将 Commedia dell'arte 元素与更精致的法国喜剧相结合。

Moliere--Four Plays: Bourgeois Gentleman, Doctor In Spite of Himself, The Affected Damsels, The Miser

In this anthology containing four of Moliere most popular plays, The Bourgeois Gentleman, The Doctor In Spite of Himself, The Affected Damsels, The Miser (regular edition), and The Miser (short edition), Mr. Pergolizzi translates a French master of the theater in fluent and modern English ready for performance on any American stage.
As an actor and playwright, Moliere played a key role in the transition away from the Italian Commedia Dell’Arte to the ever popular la Comédie Française. Moliere broke away from the impromptu, formula-mask type presentations which were rooted in the Italian Renaissance theater, and introduced live, written dialogue based on the people and costumes of the day—real people whose characters acceded the stage, and the audience made its connection with each foible enacted by the performing protagonists. Thus, the satire in the Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme became poignant and entertaining. In L’Avare, Moliere gave the miser a physical body that was believable and real.
