Maksima. Laroshfuko F. de

Francois de Laroshfuko is an outstanding French writer and moralist, author of the famous “memoirs”. His life passed at the court of Louis XIII and Louis XIV. Being a supporter of the Front, he participated in conspiracies against the cardinals of Richelieu and Mazarini, was sharpened to the Bastille, and then sent to exile. The reader is offered to the Maxims, a classic model of the aphoristic genre, glorifying the name Laroshfuko. They are elegant paradoxes on the topic of human actions and court customs of the era.
