Tartuffe is a play written by the French playwright Jean Baptiste Poquelin, better known by his stage name Moliere. It was first performed in 1664 and is considered one of his greatest works. The play is a satire of religious hypocrisy and centers around the character of Tartuffe, a hypocritical and manipulative religious zealot who is taken in by a wealthy family, the Orgons. Tartuffe uses his religious persona to gain the trust and admiration of the Orgon family, but he is ultimately exposed as a fraud and a con artist. The play explores themes of deception, greed, and the dangers of blind faith. It is a timeless work that continues to be performed and studied today.Moliere's The Hypocrite seduces the girl, cons the father, disinherits the son -- all in one day!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
