I started reading this to check off a box on this Reading Challenge I got at the library, for "A Play." VERY pleasantly surprised...I'd love to see some of these performed live! They're timeless satires. I loved "That Scoundrel Scapin" the most. Especially that part with Geronte hiding in a sack that's straight out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon. "Don Juan" rubbed me the wrong way a bit, though. The protagonist is such a major dick and goes completely unchallenged and unchecked throughout 99% of the play. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Contém
This edition of comedies by Molière includes: The School for Wives, a comedy of infidelity and his first great success, The Critique of the School for Wives, Don Juan, The Miser, and The Imaginary Invalid, the play that Molière appeared in only hours before his death. Renowned for his comedic genius and ability to portray a true sense of humanity in his characters, Molière has been delighting and intriguing audiences since the seventeenth century, at which time they pleased King Louis XIV and changed the face of French comic drama. The Miser, a representative product of Molière's many-sided genius, is a comedy of manners loosely based on The Pot of Gold, by the Roman playwright Plautus. In each of these plays, Molière weaves a dark thread of tragedy into his comic visions of love, society, and the comfortable bourgeois home. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
