These timeless theatrical works by one of France's greatest and most influential playwrights can be appreciated not only by students of French language and literature but by any aficionado of classic comedy.Tartuffe, a 1664 verse comedy with serious overtones, concerns a scoundrel who impersonates a holy man in order to acquire his gullible host's property and wife. The prose farce The Bourgeois Gentleman, an instant success at its 1670 debut, lampoons the hypocrisy of 17th-century Parisian society with a central character who attempts to adopt the superficial manners, accomplishments, and speech associated with the nobility. Both plays abound in humor, the quips of saucy servants, and a host of satirical plot devices.For this edition, Stanley Appelbaum has provided an informative introduction to the playwright and the plays, and excellent literal English translations on facing pages, offering students an ideal opportunity both to refine their French-language skills and to enjoy Moliere in his own words.", "author": "Molière", "slug": "tartuffe-and-the-bourgeois-gentleman-113347-9780486120577-moliere", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780486120577.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "113347", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/113347/tartuffe-and-the-bourgeois-gentleman-113347-9780486120577-moliere", "bisac_codes": [ "FOR008000", "DRA004000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780486404387", "EISBN13": "9780486120577", "EISBN10": "0486120570" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010026194653" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000113346", "attributes": { "name": "Short Stories by the Generation of 1898/Cuentos de la Generacion de 1898", "subtitle": "A Dual-Language Book", "description": "The generation of Spanish artists known as the 98ers, who renounced politics and sought their country's true spirit within its landscape, culture, and character, are well represented here by thirteen stories by five outstanding authors.

Her battles brought a world of troubles arrest, indictment, and exile among them but ultimately she triumphed, opening the first American birth control clinic in 1916 and serving as the first president of the International Planned Parenthood Federation in 1953.A fascinating firsthand account of an early crusade for women's healthcare, this autobiography is a classic of women's studies and social reform.", "author": "Margaret Sanger", "slug": "the-autobiography-of-margaret-sanger-113340-9780486120836-margaret-sanger", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780486120836.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "113340", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/113340/the-autobiography-of-margaret-sanger-113340-9780486120836-margaret-sanger", "bisac_codes": [ "SOC028000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780486434926", "EISBN13": "9780486120836", "EISBN10": "048612083X" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010026193314" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000113339", "attributes": { "name": "Dreams and Wonders", "subtitle": "Stories from the Dawn of Modern Fantasy", "description": "From an innovative tale by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to influential works by H.
