| Description: | It is 1575. Thirteen years of religious wars have left France devastated and blood-soaked. Brantôme, a penniless provincial gentleman, decides in his forties to bid farewell to war and devote himself to what has always been his reason for living: women. Even in the midst of war, he was thinking only of them: Victoire (the one he adores and whom he lifts out of the depths of despair after her first husband dies), Marguerite de Valois (the young queen of Navarro, who fascinates him), Jeanne de Tignonville, Mme de saint-Luc and others. Regardless of whether he really loved them, they dwell in him and he remains under their spell. One of them encourages him to write everything that he has learned about women and bear witness to the gallant women of his time. By bringing them to life in words, the women remain with him. Thanks to him, their memory is kept alive for posterity. |
