| Publisher Description: 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. |
