La Fontaines Bawdy, Revised Ed: Of Libertines, Louts, and Lechers

by Jean de La Fontaine

Book Overview

The Contes et nouvelles en vers of Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695) were published at various times throughout his life, often these works threatened to get him in trouble with both Church and Academie. This translation covers the entire corpus in all their variety. The mildly suggestive mingle with the frankly bawdy rendered in the spirit they were written in and scrupulously faithful to one of France's greatest poets.
