this book was exactly what I needed for my french class. All in French, and the supplemental materials were very helpful and easy to understand, as were the footnotes.

I studied this text when I was 18. Moliere is witty and humorous, which actually made reading this text a pleasure. He has lovely usage of his language.

I read this in my French class... the play is hilarious, well worth reading, and if you can't read French, you should read a translation or go see the play! It's funny, and although it is like many of Molière's other plays, it's a nice deviation from the normal play.

Attention, malgré le titre en français, cette édition est en anglais.

This is an english version of a very well known, very funny play by Molière. He makes fun of M. Jourdain, a middle-age man who wants to rise above his class. It's classic comedy whose themes are still modern, a few centuries later.

Since I expected the text to be in its original french and did not read this edition, I can not comment farther. I gave it five stars because really, you can't go wrong with Molière.

Please pick it up and write your own comments !

Disappointed as I did know it was a textbook (perhaps I did not look clasely enough) however, it is in excellent condition, no scribbled on! Still happy about the purchase!
