The Pretentious Young Ladies - Jean-Baptiste Moliére - Bog

The Pretentious Young Ladies is a comedic play written by Jean Baptiste Poquelin, better known as Moliere. The play follows the lives of two young women, Magdelon and Cathos, who are obsessed with being fashionable and sophisticated. They spend their days attending salons and criticizing those they deem beneath them. However, their pretentiousness is challenged when they fall in love with two men who are not impressed by their affected airs. The play satirizes the shallow and superficial nature of high society and the ridiculous lengths people will go to in order to fit in. Moliere's clever dialogue and witty commentary make The Pretentious Young Ladies a timeless classic that continues to be performed and enjoyed today.MASC. Some larceny of my heart; some massacre of liberty. I behold here a pair of eyes that seem to be very naughty boys, that insult liberty, and use a heart most barbarously. Why the deuce do they put themselves on their guard, in order to kill any one who comes near them? Upon my word! I mistrust them; I shall either scamper away, or expect very good security that they do me no mischief.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
