"The shopkeeper turned into a mistress" is a comedy play by Moliere, which tells the story of a shopkeeper who suddenly tries to rise in society by imitating the etiquette and manners of a noble master. In this funny fable, the author sharply exposes social ambitions and shows how senseless a person's attempts to elevate himself through masks and poses can be.
Thanks to lively dialogue, a skillfully constructed plot and a deep interpretation of social stereotypes, "The Shopkeeper Turned into a Landlord" remains a relevant and funny play even in our time. Moliere's deep philosophical thoughts about human nature and society are interwoven with dramatic scenes, making this work fascinating for readers of all ages."
