France's answer to Shakespeare, the seventeenth century playwright Molière wrote comedies, farces, tragicomedies, comédie-ballets and poetry. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed at the Comédie-Française more often than those of any other playwright today. He invented a new style that employed a double vision of normal and abnormal seen in relation to each other—the comedy of the true opposed to the specious, the intelligent set against the pedantic. Though the sacred and secular authorities often combined against him, Molière's genius finally emerged to win him the status of a world author. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Molière's complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare plays and poetry, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
