This 17th-century text analyzes the lives of three libertines who published fictional works with subversive religious and social ideas under the veil of adventure stories. These included Cyrano de Bergerac, a duelist author and precursor to philosophical free thinking, Denis Veiras, a reformist minister writing under an alias, and Claude Gilbert, a lawyer who challenged the existing social order. The author argues that these men were essentially unbalanced libertines whose lack of intellectual discipline led to a denial of reality and ultimately, a rejection of Christian dogma and traditional societal norms. The author argues that their works thus heralded the rise of the skeptical and materialist mindset that would come to characterize the 18th century.
