Love adventures Chevalier de Flazse. Louve de Curvre J.- B.

Jean-Batista Louve de Couvre (1760-1797) is the creator of the curious sample of the Boulevard literature of the XVIII century, the novel “Love Adventures of Chevalier de Flazha”. Initially met by the noisy success of the public, soon the book was listed in the rank of "immoral" works. Indeed, the readers are waiting for a real whirlpool of adventure: dressing, jealousy, abduction, false letters, noble robbers and alcohol passions. However, despite the notes of frivolity, “love affairs...” are also a historical document showing the life of society on the eve of the French Revolution.
