«L'amour au temps des libertins» is the historical essay by Patrick Wald Lasowski, published by Editions First in paperback (300 pages, in French).
The book portrays how the culture of pleasure took hold of the French elites after the death of Louis XIV: an aristocracy devoted to gambling, wine and seduction, while the Church lost influence. It describes the libertines, the «roués» and the courtesans, and their relationship with art, music and literature, from Watteau to Sade.
Work from the First Histoire collection, with the mention «recommandé par Historia». It falls within the history of customs and sexuality in France.
For readers of cultural and social history interested in the Ancien Régime, libertinism and the amorous customs of 18th-century France.
