Take Œuvres Complètes 2 Compiled By Molière Depicted In Digital Copy
on Œuvres Complètes 2
désinvolte, créateur fantastique, comédienné aux moeurs dissolues, prince du rire et de la satire, celui qui dérangeait du temps de son vivant serait sans doute surpris de s'entendre désigner comme le "plus grand homme de théâtre que la France ait jamais compté".
Mais ce n'est que justice, car oubliées les tumultueuses conditions qui entouraient la création de chacune de ses pièces, il nous reste une oeuvre incroyablement riche et moderne, qui surprend sans cesse et demeure indépassable.
Molière,was a French playwright and actor who is considered one of the greatest masters of comedy in Western literature.
My selected readings are among Molière's bestknown comedies:
Les Précieuses Ridicules, LAvare
LEcole des Maris, Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme
LEcole des Femmes, Les Fourberies de Scapin
Le Misanthrope.
Les Femmes Savantes
Le Malade Imaginaire
The first thing that came to my mind was to compare Molière with Shakespeare,
Shakespeare, only about fifty years before Moliere, from an actor, become a genial playwright,
Whether they had been excellent actors, I don't know, but they became each one a genius in his style, Shakespeare in drama and Moliere in comedy,
In Shakespeare's dramas at the end of the play, there is grief and death,
In Molieres comedies, in conclusion, the moral is always safe, and even though the outcome may sometimes be farfetched, all ends in marriages and happy ends.
Moliere's style of writing is incredibly delicate, and all the dialogues are pure poetry, naturally riming as if the author's thinking was permanently in that mode.
The settings are mostly popular environments, characters from French aristocratic society and bourgeois as well as merchants, farmers, servants and girls in all imaginable situations.
There is ample material to write a review on each one of the plays, but I will save that for my next life.
Molieres theatres may have been simple in his beginnings in small provincial places, but when he became noticed in Paris and appointed the kings personal entertainer things changed.
At that time, there may not have been more distinguished and luxurious theatres in the whole of Europe, Costumes for actors, accessories, and decorum as well as music and dance would have been chosen from the most beautiful the richest available anywhere,
Molieres comedies was an exceptional reading experience for me,
I would say it is one of the Must reads in life,

Cette édition du théâtre complet de Molière nous donne l'occasion de replonger dans les textes et de goûter encore le sel des comédies, la truculence des farces et la grandeur de ses pièces les plus noires, comme Tartuffe, Le Misanthrope ou Dom Juan.
Au théâtre complet s'ajoutent enfin quelques poésies de circonstance, composées le plus souvent pour le roi, qui achèvent avec pertinence ce vaste panorama moliéresque.
