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. Written during the author's exile, this scandalous work chronicles the love affairs and intrigues of French court nobility, thinly disguised under pseudonyms. It mocks King Louis XIV's early romance and exposes aristocratic scandals. Published against Bussy-Rabutin's wishes, the work resulted in his arrest, imprisonment in the Bastille, and permanent disgrace—condemning him to spend his final twenty-seven years in exile.
