Little known Moliere (at least in America)
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
These comedies are just as good as his well known plays. This translation is simple and direct. A great addition to an actor's book shelf. Good for high school students as the plays are short.
Bermel is the BEST!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
If you're producing Moliere for an American audience, Bermel's translations/adaptations are the BEST! His texts play magnificently and his ability to transcode Moliere's sense of humor into an American-accessible format is extraordinary.
