Description
Molière’s life and personality had a huge influence on shaping Bulgakov as a writer and became a deeply personal, and deeply suffered, theme of his work. After carefully studying the necessary historical and literary material and reflecting on all the twists and turns of the great playwright’s fate—realizing the price he paid for preserving his plays and for the very existence of his theater—Bulgakov creates a romanized biography of Molière based on reliable facts from his hero’s life. “The Life of Mr. de Molière” is in many ways autobiographical: it is the author’s kind of confession about his own life in art; a story of the tragedy of an artist who collided with the despotism of power. It is a sad, profound work about the most complex and dangerous art of theater—art that depends on society and on the opinions of the powerful, both in the moment and at all times.
