| Summary | "Vie de Molière" by Voltaire is a biographical account written in the 18th century. The book delves into the life and achievements of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known as Molière, a prominent figure in French literature and theater. It examines his early life, struggles, and eventual rise to fame as a playwright and actor, providing insight into the social and cultural dynamics of the time. The narrative begins with Molière's humble beginnings in Paris and his father's aspirations for him, which he ultimately defied to pursue a career in theater. The book covers his early attempts at writing and performing, his struggles during the civil wars in France, and his subsequent success in establishing a renowned theater troupe in Paris. Voltaire highlights key works of Molière and notes the societal reactions they garnered, including both admiration and criticism. The biography concludes with Molière's tragic death during a performance, reflecting on his significant impact on the theatrical arts and the challenges he faced from his contemporaries and society at large. Ultimately, it portrays Molière as a complex figure whose brilliance in comedy did not shield him from the personal hardships and societal prejudices of his time.
