Je, François Villon

Edición de la obra Je, François Villon

He may have been born on the day of Joan of Arc's death. His father was hanged and his mother tortured. He studied at the University of Paris. He enjoyed, lied, stole from an early age. He frequented the poor and the rich, the priests, the assassins, the poets and the kings. No human feeling was foreign to him. From the most sublime to the most atrocious, he has committed all the acts that a man can commit. He went through a meteor thirty years of the history of his time. He has opened that sumptuous way which all other poets will follow in his wake: absolute freedom. After Rimbaud and Verlaine, Jean Teulé could better end his journey in Poetry by endorsing with pride and humility the magnificent rags of François Villon.--Amazon.com
