The Heptameron Of Margaret Of Angouleme V2

The Heptameron of Margaret of Angouleme V2: Queen of Navarre is a book written by De Lincy and Le Roux. It is a collection of seventy-two short stories, written in the form of a frame narrative, that were originally published in 1558. The stories are set in the 16th century and revolve around the themes of love, marriage, and infidelity. The book is named after the seven days of the week, as each day is dedicated to a different story. The stories are narrated by a group of ten characters who are stranded in the Pyrenees Mountains due to bad weather. They pass the time by telling each other stories that are often bawdy and humorous. The book is considered a masterpiece of French literature and is known for its frank portrayal of sexuality and its commentary on the social mores of the time. It is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the lives of women during the Renaissance period.
