About this book

"Histoire amoureuse des Gaules; suivie des Romans historico-satiriques du XVIIe…" by Roger de Bussy-Rabutin is a satirical roman à clef published in 1665. This scandalous work chronicles the romantic intrigues and scandals of Louis XIV's court, thinly disguising real aristocrats under pseudonyms. Written privately to entertain his mistress and friends, the manuscript was secretly copied and published against the author's wishes. The revelations—mocking the young king's love affairs and exposing courtly misdeeds—led to Bussy-Rabutin's arrest, imprisonment in the Bastille, and permanent exile from court.
