The Misanthrope, Tartuffe, and Other 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。

The Misanthrope, Tartuffe, and Other Plays

This unique volume brings together four of Molière's greatest verse comedies covering the best years of his prolific writing career. Actor, director, and playwright, Molire (1622-73) was one of the finest and most influential French dramatists, adept at portraying human foibles and puncturing pomposity. The School for Wives was his first great success; Tartuffe, condemned and banned for five years, his most controversial play. The Misanthrope is his acknowledged masterpiece, and The Clever Women his last, and perhaps best-constructed, verse piece. In addition this collection includes a spirited attack on his enemies and a defense of his theater, in the form of two sparkling short plays, The School for Wives Criticized and The Impromptu at Versailles.
