This latter translation earned Wilbur a share of the Bollingen Translation Prize for his critically-acclaimed work of this satiric take on religious hypocrisy.\"Mr. Wilbur has given us a sound, modern, conversational poetry and has made Moliere's The Misanthrope brilliantly our own.-The New York Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52191242453280,"sku":"NEW0156605171","price":13.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71MGgkK7YoL.jpg?v=1786823937","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-misanthrope-and-tartuffe-0156605171","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
