Initial volume of La Bruyère's moral satire: across chapters 1 to 10, the author draws portraits and reflections on seventeenth-century French society, with irony and sharpness. Courtiers, nobles, bourgeois and common characters parade by, and the vanity, hypocrisy, desire to show off and vices of his time are exposed.

Intended for students of French literature and for readers who want to approach the classic satire of the seventeenth century.
