by Jean De La Bruyre (Author), Henri Van Laun (Translator)

The Characters of Jean de La Bruyere is a book written by Jean de La Bruyere himself. It is a collection of short character sketches that provide a satirical and often humorous look at the social classes and personalities of 17th-century France. The book is divided into three parts, each containing a number of character sketches. The first part focuses on the courtiers and nobility, while the second part looks at the middle class and professionals. The third and final part examines the lower classes and those on the fringes of society. The sketches are written in a concise and witty style, with La Bruyere using his observations and experiences to create vivid and often scathing portraits of his subjects. The Characters of Jean de La Bruyere is considered a classic of French literature and a significant work of satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
