Описание: For the 400th anniversary of Molieres birth, all of Richard Wilburs unsurpassed translations of Moliиres plays--themselves towering achievements in English verse--are brought together for the first time in this two-volume gift set.

One of the most accomplished American poets of his generation, Richard Wilbur (1921-2017) was also a prolific translator of French and Russian literature. His verse translations of Moliиres plays are especially admired by readers and are still performed today around the world. Wilbur, the critic John Simon wrote, makes Moliиre into as great an English verse playwright as he was a French one. Now, for the first time, all ten of Wilburs unsurpassed translations of Moliиres plays are brought together in two-volume boxed set, fulfilling the poets vision for the translations.

The first volume comprises Moliиres delightful early farces The Bungler, Lovers Quarrels, and The Imaginary Cuckhold, or Sganarelle; the comedies The School for Husbands and The School for Wives, about the efforts of middle-aged men to control their young wives or fiancйs, which so delighted female theater goers in Molieres seventeenth-century France; and Don Juan, Moliиres retelling of the timeless story, performed only briefly in the playwrights lifetime before pious censure forced it to close and not part of the repertoire of the Comйdie-Franзaise until 1847.

The second volume includes the elusive masterpiece, The Misanthrope, often said to occupy the same space in comedy as Shakespeares Hamlet does in tragedy; the fantastic farce Amphitryon, about how Jupiter and Mercury commandeer the identities of two mortals; Tartuffe, Moliиres biting satire of religious hypocrisy; and The Learned Ladies, like Tarfuffe, a drama of a household turned suddenly upside down. These volumes include the original introductions by Richard Wilbur and an introduction by Adam Gopnik on the exquisite art of Wilburs translations.
