Viac o knihe

Molière, born Jean-Baptiste Poquelin in 1622, initially followed a career in service before pursuing his passion for the stage at 21. Despite early setbacks, including the bankruptcy of his theater troupe, he gained recognition by performing for the King in 1658. Renowned for his sharp critiques of society and the church, Molière produced iconic works like "Tartuffe" and "The Misanthrope." His life ended dramatically on stage in 1673, as he collapsed during a performance of "The Imaginary Invalid," leaving a lasting legacy in French theater.
