Autoren-Porträt von Molière
Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name Molière (1622 - 1673), was a French playwright and actor who is considered to be one of the greatest masters of comedy in Western literature. Among his best-known works are Le Misanthrope (The Misanthrope), L'École des Femmes (The School for Wives), Tartuffe ou L'Imposteur (Tartuffe or the Hypocrite), L'Avare (The Miser), Le Malade Imaginaire (The Imaginary Invalid) or The Hypochondriac, and Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme (The Bourgeois Gentleman). His work was often criticised by moralists and the Roman Catholic Church for his satirical attacks on religious hypocrisy. Many works such as Tartuffe and Don Juan were condemned and subsequently banned from performance. But his genius eventually shone through and his work continues to inspire writers from generation to generation.
