Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, Comédie, With Arguments and Notes, Revised by F.E.a. Gasc and W. Holmes

This classic French play is a masterpiece of wit, satire, and social commentary. The story centers around the social climbing antics of a wealthy bourgeois gentleman, and the lengths to which he will go to achieve acceptance within the upper echelons of French society. With incisive commentary and a sharp wit, Molière skewers the hypocrisies and pretensions of the aristocracy and highlights the dangers of status-seeking at any cost.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
