Knock, Ou Le Triomphe De La MÃ(c)decine: Trois Actes, Collection Soleil [French]

By Jules Romains

"Knock, ou Le Triomphe de la m decine" est une com die grin ante et visionnaire de Jules Romains, s'imposant comme l'un des sommets du th tre fran ais du XXe si cle. L'intrigue suit l'arriv e du myst rieux docteur Knock dans la paisible bourgade de Saint-Maurice. Succ dant au docteur Parpalaid, dont la client le tait quasi inexistante, Knock d ploie une strat gie redoutable pour instaurer un r gime m dical absolu. Convaincu que tout homme bien portant est un malade qui s'ignore , il parvient, par la suggestion et la manipulation psychologique, persuader une population enti re de son tat de sant pr caire.
Cette "uvre explore avec brio les m canismes de l'influence et la fragilit de la raison face l'autorit scientifique. Au-del de la satire du milieu m dical, Jules Romains propose une r flexion universelle sur le pouvoir et la docilit des foules. Alliant un humour caustique une analyse sociologique fine, "Knock, ou Le Triomphe de la m decine" reste une pi ce d'une actualit frappante, d non ant les d rives de l'ambition et les dangers de la foi aveugle dans le progr s technique.
