L'Arretin moderne

<p><i>L'Arretin moderne</i> attributed to Henri Joseph Dulaurens offers a provocative glimpse into 18th-century French society through a series of satirical and erotic essays. This first volume presents a bold critique of contemporary morals and manners employing wit and libertine themes to challenge social norms. Dulaurens known for his controversial works uses the figure of Aretino as a lens through which to examine the excesses and hypocrisies of his time. With sharp social commentary and daring explorations of human desire <i>L'Arretin moderne</i> remains a fascinating document of a society on the cusp of revolution. This edition allows modern readers to engage with a significant and often scandalous work of French literature.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
