| Summary | "Les Contes; ou, Les nouvelles récréations et joyeux devis" by Bonaventure Des Périers is a collection of entertaining tales written in the 16th century. The work reflects the spirit of its time, characterized by witty narratives that often include humor and social commentary, reminiscent of the storytelling traditions popular in the literary circles of France. As a valet to the queen of Navarre, Des Périers adds a unique perspective to these stories, showcasing not just entertainment but also a critique of societal norms. The opening of this collection establishes a tone of lightheartedness and introspection. Des Périers invites readers to set aside their troubles and enjoy a moment of joy through his tales. He acknowledges the potential for melancholy in life but suggests that laughter can serve as a remedy. The beginning emphasizes the importance of living well and finding pleasure in the small things, setting the stage for a series of stories that promise to entertain while inviting deeper reflection on human experience and folly.
