Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle-Class Gentleman written by Molière in 1670, is a delightful comedy that satirizes social climbing and the pretensions of the middle class. The play revolves around Monsieur Jourdain, a wealthy tradesman who dreams of becoming an aristocrat and immersing himself in the trappings of high society. Through hilarious encounters with various characters, including a philosopher, a music master, and a master of arms, Jourdain's naivety and gullibility are laid bare. The play cleverly explores themes of social ambition, class distinction, and the notion that true nobility cannot be bought or imitated. Molière's witty dialogue and comedic timing add to the play's charm, providing audiences with uproarious laughter while offering a sharp critique of societal conventions. This story remains a timeless work, resonating with audiences across generations. Molière's astute observations of human folly and his masterful blend of satire and humor make this play a true comedic gem, continuing to entertain and enlighten readers about the foibles of social pretensions.

Book excerpt: The Middle Class Gentleman (Le Bourgeois gentilhomme) is a five-act com�die-ballet-a play intermingled with music, dance and singing-written by Moli�re, first presented on 14 October 1670.The play satirizes attempts at social climbing and the bourgeois personality, poking fun both at the vulgar, pretentious middle-class and the vain, snobbish aristocracy. The title is meant as an oxymoron: in Moli�re's France, a "gentleman" was by definition nobly born, and thus there could be no such thing as a bourgeois gentleman.

Download or read book A Nobel Affair written by and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Nobel made his name as an inventor and successful entrepreneur and left a legacy as a philanthropist and promoter of learning and social progress. The correspondence between Nobel and his Viennese mistress, Sofie Hess, shines a light on his private life and reveals a personality that differs significantly from his public image. The letters show him as a hypochondriac and workaholic and as a paranoid, jealous, and patriarchal lover. Indeed, the relationship between the aging Alfred Nobel and the carefree, spendthrift Sofie Hess will strike readers as dysfunctional and worthy of Freudian analysis. Erika Rummel's masterful translation and annotations reveal the value of the letters as commentary on 19th century social mores: the concept of honour and reputation, the life of a "kept" woman, the prevalence of antisemitism, the importance of spas as health resorts and entertainment centres, the position of single mothers, and more generally the material culture of a rich bourgeois gentleman. A Nobel Affair is the first translation into English of the complete correspondence between Alfred Nobel and Sofie Hess.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monsieur Jourdain is a middle class merchant who foolishly believes he can break into the upper echelon of society. Desperate to elevate himself and his station, it seems there is no humiliation too great as he tries to better himself via tutelage from a variety of instructors who are more than happy to relieve him of his money. He also finds himself an easy mark for a penniless nobleman who uses him to fund an extravagant lifestyle. Monsieur Jourdain's long-suffering wife and daughter find themselves caught up in one of his latest schemes, involving a poorly planned affair, several sets of unhappy lovers and a full orchestra and ballet company invading the household. It will fall to the clever servants to find sense in the madness and set things right.
