Download or read book The School for Wives ; And, The Learned Ladies written by Molière and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 1978 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School for wives: Fearing cuckoldry above all else, Arnolphe has painstakingly trained the guileless Agnes from childhood to become his obedient and faithful wife. Although he has carefully shielded her from the outside world, romance finds her in the form of the dashing Horace, son of one of Arnolphe's best friends. Unaware of who his rival is, the trusting Horace enlists Arnolphe's aid in wooing Agnes—that leads to a series of hilarious and inventive twists and turns of plot, until the inevitable conclusion is reached: The wily Arnolphe is duped into outwitting himself, and young love, as it will, carries the day. --From publisher's description.
Book Synopsis The Misanthrope, Tartuffe, and Other Plays by : Molière
Download or read book The Misanthrope, Tartuffe, and Other Plays written by Molière and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-05-08 with total page 775 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Why does he write those ghastly plays that the whole of Paris flocks to see? And why does he paint such lifelike portraits that everyone recognizes themselves?' Moliere, The Impromptu at Versailles This volume brings together four of Moliere's greatest verse comedies covering the best years of his prolific writing career. Actor, director, and playwright, Moliere (1622-73) was one of the finest and most influential French dramatists, adept at portraying human foibles and puncturing pomposity. The School for Wives was his first great success; Tartuffe, condemned and banned for five years, his most controversial play. The Misanthrope is his acknowledged masterpiece, and The Clever Women his last, and perhaps best-constructed, verse piece. In addition this collection includes a spirited attack on his enemies and a defence of his theatre, in the form of two sparkling short plays, The School for Wives Criticized and The Impromptu at Versailles. Moliere's prose plays are available in a complementary Oxford World's Classics edition, Don Juan and Other Plays. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Book Synopsis Molière The School for Wives by : Maria-Cristina Necula
Download or read book Molière The School for Wives written by Maria-Cristina Necula and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-11-17 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In translating Molière’s 5-act comedy, Maria-Cristina Necula fulfills her mission: to be as faithful to the original as possible, while transferring that fidelity to a contemporary context. Maintaining the original’s 12-syllable Alexandrine verse and rhyming couplets while using contemporary English idiomatic expressions in translating phrases that, during Molière’s time, were considered contemporary, she brings this translation into the English language of today. Paying tribute to the musicality of the French original, she beautifully transfers that musicality into English. “Most importantly, perhaps, is the question of the texture of a translation, the manner in which the threads of meaning are interwoven in a piece. In her sensitive and fine translation of “L’École des femmes”, Maria-Cristina Necula has captured the texture of Molière’s comedic universe. Needless to say, this is no small achievement.”(Philippa Wehle)
Book Synopsis School for Trophy Wives by : Freyda Thomas
Download or read book School for Trophy Wives written by Freyda Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School for Trophy Wives is loosely based on Molière's L'Ecole des Femmes. It is set in present day Hollywood, with all the accompanying glitz, glamour, and garishness we have come to know and spoof in Tinseltown. In this version, Arnolphe is Arnie, a Hollywood producer who has finally made it big after years of clawing his way to the top. He now wants to settle down with a wife and kids. He is MUCH older than his protégée Agnes, whom he found on a farm when she was 4, "adopted" as his ward, and raised, until he realizes, at her graduation, that she would be a perfect wife for him. Having made fun of his colleagues and all their trophy wives over the years, he must take special care that no whiff of scandal will ever hit him from the cover of People Magazine or the Hollywood Reporter, and that his wife will never adhere to the "trophy standards" his friends have had to deal with. This is where Molière comes in, but with some 21st century flair.
Download or read book The Bungler written by Molière and published by Theatre Communications Group. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A mischievous new translation by the poet Richard Wilbur, [The Bungler] is great good fun and should open the gate for the play to be presented with the regularity it deserves.”—Bruce Weber, The New York Times “My notion of translation is that you try to bring it back alive. Speak-ability is so important. . . . I came to see that a line that simply says ‘I love you,’ at the right point in the show, is entirely adequate, that a great deal of verbal sophistication is not necessarily called for.”—Richard Wilbur Poet Richard Wilbur’s translations of Molière’s plays are loved, renowned, and performed throughout the world. This volume is part of Theater Communications Group’s new series (with cover designs by Chip Kidd) to complete trade publication of these vital works of French neoclassical comedy. The Bungler is Molière’s first recognizably great play, and the first to be written in verse. The charming farce is set in Sicily and born of the great Italian tradition of the commedia dell’arte: Loyal valet Mascarille schemes to win the lovely Celie away from rival Leadre, and into the arms of his master Leslie. Molière himself originated the role Mascarille, self-described as “the rashest fool on earth,” who naturally bungles the job along the way. Richard Wilbur is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and a former Poet Laureate of the United States. His publications include six volumes of poetry and two collections of selected verses, a collection of prose, and two books for children.
