The Heptameron of Margaret, Queen of Navarre by Marguerite
"The Heptameron of Margaret, Queen of Navarre" by Marguerite is a collection of 72 short stories published posthumously in 1558. Inspired by Boccaccio's Decameron, it presents tales told by travelers stranded at an abbey while awaiting a bridge's completion. The stories explore love, lust, infidelity, and sexual intrigue, often featuring cuckolded spouses and romantic entanglements. Originally planned for one hundred stories across ten days, the work remained incomplete at Marguerite's death, ending
midway through the eighth day. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
