Le Misanthrope
A reproduction of the 1922 Haldeman-Julius Ten Cent Pocket Series edition of Molière's Le Misanthrope, the kind of small book that was sold by the millions from newspaper stands and mail-order catalogs in the early twentieth century. The text is the full five-act comedy, printed on cheap paper with narrow margins and a cover that promised culture for the price of a pack of gum. Haldeman-Julius built an empire on such reprints, and this volume is a survivor of that experiment in mass literacy.Ideal reader: the reader who wants Molière in the format in which most Americans first encountered him, or the collector of publishing curiosities who understands that ideas do not require large pages.
