Le Bourgeois-gentilhomme [French]

Le Bourgeois gentilhomme is one of Moli re's most celebrated plays. This comedy-ballet in five acts, presented in prose, satirizes social climbing and the pretensions of the middle class. Monsieur Jourdain, the bourgeois of the title, aspires to become a gentleman and enthusiastically embraces music, dance, fencing, and philosophy lessons. His naivet and the absurdity of his endeavors are a source of constant amusement.

Moli re's sharp wit and keen observations of human nature make Le Bourgeois gentilhomme a timeless masterpiece. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to expose the follies of vanity and the importance of authenticity. This edition offers readers the opportunity to appreciate Moli re's brilliance in its original French.
