Description:Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known popularly by his stage name Moli�re, is regarded as one of the masters of French comedic drama. When Moli�re began acting in Paris there were two well-established theatrical companies, those of the H�tel de Bourgogne and the Marais. Joining these theatrical companies would have been impossible for a new member of the acting profession like Moli�re and thus he performed with traveling troupes of actors in the French provinces. It was during this period that Moli�re would refine his skills as both an actor and a writer. Eventually his reputation would increase allowing him to return to Paris where he gained the patronage of Philippe I, Duke of Orl�ans, the brother of the King of France, Louis XIV. In this volume one of Moli�re's most popular works is presented, one in which the author draws upon his bourgeoisie upbringing in 17th century France. "The Misanthrope" is a comedy of errors which satirizes the hypocrisies of French aristocratic society. The story is concerned with the relationship between Alceste, a French gentleman who laments the superficiality of society life, and C�lim�ne, a woman who epitomizes the courtly manners that Alceste despises.
