📖 Full Story Description

The School for Wives (L’École des Femmes, 1662) is one of Molière’s greatest comedies — a brilliant satire on jealousy, control, and human folly. Arnolphe, terrified of being betrayed, raises a young girl named Agnes to be the “perfect wife” — innocent, obedient, and ignorant of the world. But when true love enters her heart, his careful plan collapses. 🎭 Through sharp wit and irony, Molière exposes the absurdity of possessive love and the freedom that comes from awakening. A story that laughs at fear and celebrates the unpredictable power of the heart. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:02:15 – Act 1: The Making of the Perfect Wife 00:26:30 – Act 2: A Stranger’s Voice 00:45:05 – Act 3: The Secret Awakening 01:06:02 – Act 4: The Cage Breaks 01:26:45 – Act 5: Love Cannot Be Taught 01:51:10 – Outro & Credits 🎙️ Credits Author: Molière (1622–1673) Translator: Henri van Laun (1820–1896) Read by: LibriVox Volunteers (Group Recording) Audio Source: LibriVox.org Text Source: Project Gutenberg Public Domain Notice: This audiobook and text are in the public domain.
