The full text of Molière's comedy-ballet, The Bourgeois Gentleman, magnificently illustrated by Nathalie Novi in a beautiful book to share with the family to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Molière's birth!
This play, written by Molière and set to music by Lully, was performed for the first time in 1670 before the court of Louis XIV. It features a conceited and capricious middle-class gentleman, Monsieur Jourdain, who dreams of becoming nobility and learning the good manners of “quality people.” Blinded by his naivety and self-importance, he does not realize that all those gravitating around him, surrounding him, and flattering him—from the “professionals" of culture and the counts and marquesses to his daughter’s lover—are actually playing with him, deceiving him, and squandering him. This five-act comedy-ballet written in prose, as well as the final Ballet of the Nations, are reproduced here in their entirety. It contains Molière’s beautiful language, all the characters’ comings and goings, hesitations and gossip, and all the humor of this farce of bigwigs!
• At the end of the book, a factual section gives information on the role of music and Lully's part in creating this comedy-ballet, as well as the development of the play’s staging and costumes over the years.
