The Divan (Le Sofa) (Paperback)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "The Divan (Le Sofa): A Morality Story" is a celebrated masterpiece of 18th-century libertine literature, blending biting social satire with a unique and provocative narrative perspective. Set within an exoticized Oriental frame, the story follows Amanzei, a courtier whose soul has been transmigrated into a series of sofas. Condemned to remain in this inanimate form, he is forced to witness the secret amorous encounters of the aristocracy that take place upon him. His release from this spell depends on a single condition: he must observe two people who are genuinely and mutually in love-a task that proves unexpectedly difficult in a world dominated by artifice, vanity, and fleeting passion.Written by Claude Prosper Jolyot de Crebillon, this witty and cynical work offers a sharp critique of the hypocrisy and social mores of the Enlightenment era. Through its clever conceit, the novel explores themes of desire, fidelity, and the vast gap between public persona and private behavior. As a seminal example of the conte oriental and the libertine genre, "The Divan (Le Sofa)" remains a sophisticated and humorous exploration of human relationships, providing a timeless window into the complexities of the heart and the theatricality of high society.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
