Bonaventure Des Périers's Novel Pastimes and Merry Tales - Paperback
Details
by Bonaventure Des Périers (Author), Raymond C. La Charité (Translator), Virginia A. La Charité (Translator)
The Nouvelles Récréations et Joyeaux Devis of Bonaventure des Périers 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 Périers both as man and artist, and a critical bibliography is also included.
