L'intrigue suit l'arriv e du docteur Knock dans le paisible village de Saint-Maurice. Succ dant au docteur Parpalaid, dont la client le tait quasi inexistante faute de malades, Knock entreprend de transformer radicalement la situation.

Cette com die grin ante d peint la m tamorphose d'une communaut rurale en une vaste clinique, o la peur de la maladie devient le moteur de la vie sociale. travers le personnage de Knock, Romains propose une r flexion profonde sur le pouvoir de la rh torique, la cr dulit humaine et les d rives possibles d'une autorit m dicale devenue absolue. Chef-d' "uvre du th tre fran ais du XXe si cle, "Knock Ou Le Triomphe De La Medecine" reste une "uvre d'une actualit frappante, interrogeant avec finesse le rapport entre science, profit et v rit .
