About This Book

Recueil de chroniques et de traits d'esprit, l'ouvrage propose des épîtres, maximes et portraits consacrés à l'amour, à la volupté et aux usages mondains. L'auteur combine ironie et esthétisme pour disséquer les caprices du désir, la coquetterie sociale et le rôle de la mémoire dans les liaisons, alternant réflexions suggestives, satires des vulgaires et descriptions raffinées. Le ton oscille entre élégance badine et scepticisme mondain, et la forme privilégie la digression, le jeu linguistique et l'image sensuelle pour livrer de petites pièces qui célèbrent et moquent les plaisirs et les convenances du monde raffiné.
