Le bourgeois gentilhomme

Blurb

Classic satire, one of the best by France's greatest comedic playwright, pokes fun at the sham and hypocrisy of 17th-century French society. A wealthy tradesman, Monsieur Jourdain, yearns to become a gentleman in order to win the hand of a marchioness — disregarding the inconvenient fact that he is already married — but only succeeds in making a fool of himself.
