H. (Charles Heron) Heron-Wall, C. (Charles) The Flying Doctor (Le Médecin Volant) Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_M%C3%A9decin_volant Produced by Delphine Lettau "The Flying Doctor" by Molière is a comedic play written in the mid-17th century. This work primarily revolves around themes of deception and romantic intrigue, presenting a humorous narrative centered on a young man's efforts to thwart an unwanted marriage through trickery. The play is a lighthearted exploration of love, misunderstandings, and the lengths to which one might go to achieve happiness. The story unfolds with Valère, who is eager to marry Lucile but faces opposition from her father, Gorgibus, who plans to marry her off to the wealthy, but undesirable, Villebrequin. In a clever twist, Valère devises a scheme to use his clumsy servant Sganarelle, disguising him as a doctor to convince Gorgibus that Lucile is too ill to marry. Sganarelle's shenanigans lead to a series of comedic misunderstandings as he bluffs his way through medical jargon, ultimately enabling Valère and Lucile to meet in secret. The play culminates in a humorous resolution as the truth is unveiled, resulting in Gorgibus forgiving the lovers and accepting their union, showcasing the wit and charm typical of Molière's work.
