The Miser is a classic French comedy play written by Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, who is better known by his stage name Moli�����re. The play was first performed in 1668 and is considered one of Moli�����re's greatest works. The story revolves around a wealthy but miserly man named Harpagon, who is obsessed with his wealth and will do anything to keep it. He is so stingy that he refuses to spend money on anything, including his own children, and is willing to marry off his son to a wealthy woman just to get her money. However, his plans are disrupted when his son falls in love with a woman who Harpagon also desires. The play is full of witty dialogue, hilarious misunderstandings, and satirical commentary on the greed and excess of the upper class. The Miser is a timeless classic that continues to be performed and enjoyed by audiences worldwide.Wall translation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
