Description from the seller
Marguerite of Navarre. The Heptameron of the News of Marguerite of Angoulême, Queen of Navarre. Paris, Alphonse Lemerre, 1879, xxxii-304 pp., 317 pp., 294 pp.
3 volumes in-12 (155x90 mm), full brown morocco leather, spine with raised bands, gilt edges (bindings of the period). Beautiful binding condition. Interior fresh, no foxing.
Edition enriched with notes, variants and a glossary by Frédéric Dillaye
The Heptameron is a collection of 72 novellas composed by Marguerite of Navarre around 1542-1549, following the model of Boccaccio's Decameron. Ten travelers, detained in the Pyrenees by a flood, tell each other stories of love, deceit, religion and morality in order to pass the time. Through these tales, the author sketches a portrait of Renaissance society, addressing relations between the sexes, abuses of the clergy, justice, honor and human passions. Left unfinished at the death of Marguerite of Navarre, the work is regarded as one of the masterpieces of sixteenth-century French literature.
