by JeandeLaFontaine (Author), Guido Waldman (Translator)
The "Contes et nouvelles en vers" are the fruit of the author's wicked delight in the tales he found in Boccacio's "Decameron", Ariosto's "Orlando Furioso", Rabelais and elsewhere. Marital misdemeanours, resourceful females, addled males, proved the inspiration for some richly inventive plotting.
