Used Book – The Doctor in Spite of Himself, Molière

Sganarelle, a notorious drunk and violent husband, undoubtedly deserves a good punishment... His wife Martine takes her revenge and the woodcutter is forced to claim he is a doctor, then to cure Lucinde, who has suddenly lost her speech.

But beatings, or even the gallows, await him, and to escape them, he must be cunning. And Sganarelle feigns the assurance, gestures, and language of 17th-century doctors... without ever dropping the mask!
