The Tales of the Heptameron, Vol. 3 (of 5) by Marguerite
"The Tales of the Heptameron, Vol. 3 (of 5)" by Marguerite is a collection of short stories written in French and published posthumously in 1558. Inspired by Boccaccio's Decameron, this frame narrative features stranded travelers sharing tales to pass the time while awaiting bridge repairs. The stories explore love, lust, infidelity, and sexual intrigue, revealing the complex romantic entanglements of nobles and royalty. Through clever plotting and irony, these true-to-life tales expose
human passion and deception in Renaissance society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
