About this book

"The Imaginary Invalid" by Molière is a three-act comédie-ballet premiered in 1673. Argan, a severe hypochondriac, plans to marry his daughter Angélique to a doctor's son to ensure constant medical care. However, Angélique loves another man, and her witty maid Toinette schemes to foil both Argan's plans and his manipulative second wife's attempts to secure his inheritance. This satirical comedy mocks medical quackery while exploring family conflicts driven by obsession, greed, and love.
