Le moyen de parvenir, tome 3/3

by Béroalde de Verville

"Le moyen de parvenir, tome 3/3" by Béroalde de Verville is a banquet narrative published in 1616. The work presents an imaginary feast where figures from all conditions, ranks, and centuries gather to converse freely, moving from topic to topic through imperceptible connections. This eccentric and transgressive text reflects the disillusionment of the late sixteenth century through universal satire. With its mixture of bawdy humor and chaotic form, it embodies the extraordinary literary vitality of a twilight Renaissance, standing at the crossroads between carnivalesque license and emerging modern obscenity.
