About this title

Synopsis

Un recueil vivant et ironiquement enjou� de tales Renaissance
Ce volume r�unit les Contes et Joyeux Devis, h�ritage litt�raire rare, pr�sent� avec des annotations et une mise en forme moderne pour faciliter la lecture. Il r�unit des r�cits spirituels, �rotiques et humoristiques qui oscillent entre farce et r�flexion sur la soci�t� de l’�poque. Le texte propose une voix abondante et malicieuse, teint�e de sagesse et de curiosit� pour les hommes et leurs travers.

Accompagn� d’un appareil critique qui trace les origines et les variantes du texte, ce livre offre aussi une introduction au contexte litt�raire du XVIe si�cle et � l’�volution de la langue dans les œuvres de Bonaventure des Periers. Le lecteur d�couvrira une mosa�que de dialogues, de situations et de caract�res qui mettent en lumi�re une sensibilit� particuli�re � l’esprit humain et � ses plaisirs.

Des r�cits courts m�lant humour, satire et moralit� l�g�re.

Des portraits de personnages types: clercs, artisans, amants et voyageurs.

Des situations comiques et des dialogues vifs qui �clairent les mœurs d’alors.

Une �dition accessible avec des notes et une ponctuation modernis�e pour faciliter la lecture actuelle.

Id�al pour les lecteurs curieux de la litt�rature fran�aise ancienne et des r�cits qui m�lent esprit, plaisir et r�flexion.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
