El médico a palos / Las mujeres sabihondas / El enfermo imaginario
Este volumen contiene tres obras significativas dentro de la vasta obra teatral de Molière, en la cual es patente una elevada tensión ética, en evidente desacuerdo con su época. Molière creó un teatro dignificador de protesta positiva, que no se anega, como casi todo teatro cómico, en la sátira costumbrista.
Lo que se deriva de la obra del genial autor cómico francés no son consejos orientacionales mediocres o advertencias reformadoras que suelen desestimarse, sino antihéroes que, a la manera de los espejo deformantes, nos muestran directa y eficazmente los auténticos valores morales, recordándonos así, con frase propia, "que no es posible ser menos que hombre".

About the author
Molière
4,632 books1,508 followersSophisticated comedies of French playwright Molière, pen name of Jean Baptiste Poquelin, include
Tartuffe
(1664),
The Misanthrope
(1666), and
The Bourgeois Gentleman
(1670).
French literary figures, including Molière and Jean de la Fontaine, gathered at Auteuil, a favorite place.
People know and consider Molière, stage of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, also an actor of the greatest masters in western literature. People best know l'Ecole des femmes (The School for Wives), l'Avare ou l'École du mensonge (The Miser), and le Malade imaginaire (The Imaginary Invalid) among dramas of Molière.
From a prosperous family, Molière studied at the Jesuit Clermont college (now lycée Louis-le-Grand) and well suited to begin a life in the theater. While 13 years as an itinerant actor helped to polish his abilities, he also began to combine the more refined elements with ccommedia dell'arte.
Through the patronage of the brother of Louis XIV and a few aristocrats, Molière procured a command performance before the king at the Louvre. Molière performed a classic of [authore:Pierre Corneille] and le Docteur amoureux (The Doctor in Love), a farce of his own; people granted him the use of Salle du Petit-Bourbon, a spacious room, appointed for theater at the Louvre. Later, people granted the use of the Palais-Royal to Molière. In both locations, he found success among the Parisians with les Précieuses ridicules (The Affected Ladies), l'École des maris</i> (<i>The School for Husbands</i>), and <i>[book:l'École des femmes (The School for Wives). This royal favor brought a pension and the title "Troupe du Roi" (the troupe of the king). Molière continued as the official author of court entertainments.
Molière received the adulation of the court and Parisians, but from moralists and the Church, his satires attracted criticisms. From the Church, his attack on religious hypocrisy roundly received condemnations, while people banned performance of Don Juan . From the stage, hard work of Molière in so many theatrical capacities began to take its toll on his health and forced him to take a break before 1667.
From pulmonary tuberculosis, Molière suffered. In 1673 during his final production of le Malade imaginaire (The Imaginary Invalid), a coughing fit and a haemorrhage seized him as Argan, the hypochondriac. He finished the performance but collapsed again quickly and died a few hours later. In time in Paris, Molière completely reformed.

Primera vez en mi vida que leo teatro, guapísimo la vdd. 'El médico a palos' es una jodida maravilla, debería ser el último para cerrar con broche de oro, demasiadas risas. 'Las mujeres sabihondas' un poco sin más, aunque es curioso como ya existían ciertas ideas feministas en la época de Molière, aunque el muy cerdo se burla de ellas. 'El enfermo imaginario' está entretenida, aunque se puede hacer pesada en algunos tramos, sobre todo pq por la cara te meten cantos en latín en forma de musical.
Muy recomendado este autor, bastante gracioso y con diálogos muy pintorescos (?). Bastante de coña la manía que le tenía a los médicos y como las tramas giran alrededor de que son unos hijos de puta, eso le da un plus.
'El médico a palos': 4.5/5
'Las mujeres sabihondas': 3/5
'El enfermo imaginario' : 3.5/5

(biblioteca) Sólo leíste el médico a palos y te pareció sorprendentemente muy gracioso. Consigue este libro aunque sea físico, vale la pena intentar leer las otras 2 obras.
