Sinopse

Tartuffe is a timeless comedy of manners by the legendary French playwright Molière, first performed in 1664. Celebrated as one of the greatest works of classic theater, the play brilliantly exposes hypocrisy, deceit, and the dangers of blind piety within society. Through clever wit, sharp dialogue, and unforgettable characters, Molière crafts a story that is as entertaining as it is morally insightful.

The play centers on the conniving Tartuffe, a master manipulator who pretends to be a devout and virtuous man in order to exploit the wealthy Orgon and his family. As Tartuffe attempts to secure wealth, influence, and even marriage through deception, the family's patience, intelligence, and courage are tested in humorous and dramatic ways. Molière's mastery of satire and comedy highlights the tension between appearance and reality, illustrating the consequences of gullibility and moral blindness.

With its brilliant combination of humor, social critique, and human insight, Tartuffe remains a must-read for lovers of theater, classic literature, and sharp social commentary. The play's timeless themes of hypocrisy, morality, and cunning continue to resonate, making it a masterpiece that entertains while provoking reflection on human behavior and societal norms.

Barry Pain

Barry Eric Odell Pain was born at 3 Sydney Street in Cambridge on 28th September 1864. He was one of 4 children.
He was educated at Sedbergh School and then Corpus Christi College, Cambridge where he read classics and contributed to and edited Granta.
Four years of service as an Army coach followed before he moved to London. In 1889, Cornhill Magazine published his short story ‘The Hundred Gates’. This opened the way for Pain to advance his literary career on several fronts. He became a contributor to Punch and The Speaker, as well as joining the staff of both the Daily Chronicle and Black and White.
In 1897 he succeeded Jerome K Jerome as editor of To-Day but still contributed regularly, until 1928, to the Windsor Magazine.
It is often said that Pain was discovered by Robert Louis Stevenson, who compared his work to that of Guy de Maupassant. It’s an apt comparison. Pain was also a master of disturbing prose but able to inject parody and light comedy into many of his works. A simple premise could in his hands suddenly expand into a world very real but somehow emotionally fraught and on the very edge of darkness as many of these short stories demonstrate.
Despite applying his talents to several genres and forms today Pain is more readily thought of, especially during the first decade of the 20th Century, as perhaps the leading British humorist of his day. These stories reveal a darker side and beg to differ.
Barry Pain died on 5th May 1928 in Bushey, Hertfordshire.

The Delayed Exit of Claude and...

P. G. Wodehouse

Getting two rowdy undergraduate twins out of London should be a simple matter of logistics. But when the twins in question are Claude and Eustace, departure becomes a high art form of creative procrastination.
In The Delayed Exit of Claude and Eustace, family duty comes knocking on Bertie Wooster's door in its most terrifying shape: Aunt Agatha. Charged with the harrowing task of shepherding his chaotic cousins onto a boat to South Africa, Bertie suddenly finds himself running a highly dysfunctional transit camp. The twins, possessing an infinite capacity for distraction and zero desire to leave the capital, turn a straightforward deadline into a beautifully orchestrated social circus. Every attempt to move these young gentlemen toward the train station only sucks Bertie deeper into a whirlpool of polite delays. Fortunately, Jeeves remains in the background, treating the entire crisis not as an emergency, but as a problem in neat rearrangement.
This is a masterclass in the comedy of absolute inertia. You don't listen to see if they leave; you listen to enjoy the glorious, agonizing spectacle of them staying.
