With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Le Misanthrope est une comédie sombre de 1666, dont l'intrigue paraît simple: un homme essaie d'obtenir un rendez-vous en tète à tète avec la femme qu'il aime - et n'y parvient pas. Cet homme excessif, Alceste, défend la sincérité absolue. Mais la jeune femme, Célimène, qui reçoit bien des hommes dans son salon, aime plaire... Qui a tort et qui a raison, des inadaptés sincères ou des hypocrites trop bien adaptés ? Entre le rire et les larmes, Molière se garde bien de nous donner une réponse.
Molière (1622-73) combined all the traditional elements of comedy--wit, slapstick, spectacle and satire--with a deep understanding of character to create richly sophisticated dramas which have always delighted audiences. Most are built around dangerously deluded and obsessive heroes such as The Would-Be Gentleman and The Misanthrope who threaten to blight the lives of those around them. Such Foolish Affected Ladies and Those Learned Ladies (both newly translated for this edition) expose the extravagant, fashionable fads and snobbery of the Parisian smart set, while the story of the falsely devout Tartuffe and his devoted disciple Orgon attracted huge controversy for its attack on religious hypocrisy. Finally, The Doctor Despite Himself forms a hilarious chapter in Molière's long-standing vendetta against the medical profession.
Like Shakespeare, Molière was a true man of the theatre whose comedies blend sharp insight into human nature with an unerring sense of what would work on stage and make people laugh. All his greatest achievements are included here and in the accompanying Penguin Classics volume, The Miser and Other Plays.

One of the world's great minds ruminates on God, the world and reason in jewel-like fragments of thought.
En 1677, Phèdre, la dernière grande tragédie de Racine, met en scène la mythique descente aux enfers d'une incomprise. Vouée au malheur par son hérédité, Phèdre aime sans espoir son beau-fils Hippolyte. Lorsque son mari, Thésée, revient, il envoie injustement son fils à la mort. On assiste alors à l'empoisonnement d'une femme à la fois innocente et coupable. Ironie tragique qui démontre à quel point l'amour peut se vivre comme une malédiction.
