Molière Weapon the Powerful Cannot Confiscate. Paris 1664 CE

This book takes you to one of the most electrifying moments in that story.

Paris, France. 1664 CE

  • A playwright writes a comedy about a holy man who is not holy.
  • The Archbishop of Paris threatens excommunication for anyone who watches it.
  • The King laughs - then bans it anyway.
  • For five years, the most dangerous play in France cannot be performed.
  • The man who wrote it dies on stage, playing a hypochondriac, genuinely dying.

The Church denied him a Christian burial. The King intervened. He was buried in the dark, without ceremony, in a piece of ground obtained by supplication.
