This edition gives a side-by-side parallel translation of Moliere
's Tartuffe using Curtis Hidden Page 's translation. Tartuffe was
first performed in 1664 and is one of the most famous theatrical
comedies, the characters of Tartuffe, Elmire, and Valere are among
the greatest classical theatre roles. Following the first
performance, it was censored by King Louis XIV, probably due to the
influence of the archbishop of Paris, who was the King's confessor.
Due to Moliere's play, contemporary French and English both use the
word "tartuffe" to describe a hypocrite who superficially feigns
virtue. The play is written entirely in 1,962 twelve-syllable lines
(alexandrines) of rhyming couplets.

This collection of literature attempts to compile many of the
classic, timeless works that have stood the test of time and offer
them at a reduced, affordable price, in an attractive volume so
that everyone can enjoy them.
Intriguing and entertaining, the play Tartuffe is a satire
displaying the scandalous truths and facades of the seventeenth
century. Although initially written for the people of King Louis
the XIV, the book can be read by an every day high school student
or adult. Through reading the play the audience is able to see the
deception of people and that we can not always judge by what we
see. Moliere brings about this concept through his witty play, and
in such a manner that you can't put it down. In Tartuffe, Moliere
uses the characterization, rhyme scheme, setting, and irony to
effectively inform an every day audience about the distinction
between appearances versus reality.
