AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Superb numbered and illustrated edition containing 20 watercolors by Albert Dubout of The Imaginary Invalid; a piece that combines humor and social satire -

The play unfolds a biting satire of the excesses of medicine and human credulity, while exploring the themes of illusion, domestic authority, and generational conflicts -

Molière reveals there his art of caricature and incisive dialogue, by constructing a character who is at once ridiculous and pathetic, a mirror of universal flaws linked to the fear of death and the desire for control -
