The School for Husbands (Unabridged)

Summary

In the heart of 17th century Paris, Molière's "The School for Husbands" unfolds as a witty and satirical comedy. Ariste, a cunning guardian, devises an elaborate scheme to control his two young wards, Isabelle and Léonor. He believes that by keeping them isolated and sheltered, he can mold them into obedient and submissive wives. However, his plans are challenged by the arrival of two charming suitors, Valère and Horace, who are determined to win the hearts of the young women. As the battle of wits ensues, Molière's sharp observations on marriage, love, and the power dynamics between men and women create a timeless and thought-provoking tale.
