Since its appearance in the «Bibliothèque des Curieux» in 1913, this work has been described as blasphemous and pornographic. Apollinaire attempts to reflect the atmosphere of crime, cruelty, and terror of an era marked by the Borgia family, with figures such as Pope Alexander, Cesare Borgia, and Lucrezia, who achieved notoriety in fear and contempt. The book explores the use of poison as part of the family and the admission of Lucrezia as a favorite in Rome.
Guillaume Apollinaire was a Polish-French poet, playwright, short story writer, novelist and art critic of Polish, Swiss and Italian descent.
