«Les Caractères» is the classic moral essay by Jean de La Bruyère, published by L'Aventurine in paperback (330 pages, in French).
Composed in sixteen chapters, the book gathers Jean de La Bruyère's reflections on the customs of his century. With maxims and portraits, and a tone close to conversation, the author confronts people's attitudes with their true character and shows the false and the ridiculous in many human passions, without entirely closing their meaning.
The work originally appeared in 1687 under the title «Les Caractères ou les mœurs de ce siècle»; this edition, published in 2000, belongs to the Classiques universels collection.
For readers of philosophy and French literature, as well as for those approaching seventeenth-century classics.
