Tartuffe, By Moliø¿re

The renowned French playwright Molière's most masterful and most frequently performed play, skillfully translated into English by the Pulitzer Prize–winning translator Richard Wilbur.

The rich bourgeois Orgon has become a bigot and prude. The title character, a wily opportunist and swindler, affects sanctity and gains complete ascendancy over Orgon, who not only attempts to turn over his fortune but also offers his daughter in marriage to his "spiritual" guide.

Translated and with an Introduction by Richard Wilbur.
