Bonaventure Des Périers's Novel Pastimes and Merry Tales
No Customer Reviews
The Nouvelles R?cr?ations et Joyeaux Devis of Bonaventure des P?riers are here translated for the first time into modern English. The translators have been successful in retaining the vitality of this important French Renaissance satirist, turning his colloquial sixteenth-century French into equally colloquial and lively American. The translation of the 129 tales is prefaced by a biographical study of des P?riers both as man and artist, and a critical bibliography is also included.
