Timeless ComedyBy Troubadour[This review is for the Dover Thrift Edition; based on the 1876 Henri Van Laun translation.]Whenever one comes across comedy from a century or more ago; the "comedy" part seems lost as it belongs too; much to a different era.Not so with Molieres "The Misanthrope". Although written some 350 years ago; it is a funny and clever today as ever (actually; much cleverer today; given the state of todays comedy in comparison).The key is that the characters and situations presented are as common today as in 17th century France. The hypocrites; the sycophants; the two-faced; the flirts; and ofcourse the perpetually morally outraged.It is a rather short play; but immensely funny and well worth the read (the exchange between Alceste and Orontes on the latters sonnet are hilarious!).0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Great product for a low low priceBy LaShawn ColeAs a French student I fnd it very helpful that I am able to download many French texts for free or for a lvery low pric through Kindle. I still have the hard copy of the books; but it is not always convenient to carry the books around; so the Kindle downloads are invaluable. Having a busy schedule; the downloads allow me to read wherever I am when I am away from home. I am able to not waste any time when it becomes available because the texts are literally at my fingertips. Great Resource!
