'Read him at your peril, avoid him at your loss' Sunday TimesCaptain Lannec has finally managed to buy his own ship with the financial help of his in-laws, the Pitards - and they've never let him forget it. When his temperamental wife Mathilde insists on coming along on the ship's first voyage, Lannec becomes increasingly unnerved by her presence, especially when he receives an anonymous note saying he won't make it back to port.

Esta biografía trata de presentar al Molière que conocieron sus contemporáneos más allá del mito edificado sobre diversas leyendas (marido celoso y malhumorado, soñador y melancólico, actor dotado solo para la comedia, enfermo crónico), que todavía hoy componen su retrato.Para poder conocer la figura del hombre, el actor itinerante, el audaz director de teatro, el creador ingenioso, hace falta bucear en testimonios desconocidos, documentos olvidados que ayuden a reconstruir la figura del hombre, de su familia, de una compañía de teatro excepcional, de un artista que llegó a ser favorito de Luis XIV, que nos puedan aclarar las luces y las sombras del gran autor cómico.
