«Les Regrets» is the poetry collection by Joachim du Bellay, with «Les Antiquités de Rome» and «Le Songe», published in paperback by Le Livre de Poche (in French).
Written mostly during Du Bellay's stay in Rome, the sonnets of «Les Regrets» combine the exile's lament with satire of the papal court. «Les Antiquités de Rome» contemplates the city's past splendor and present ruin, and «Le Songe» closes with a dreamlike vision of its destruction.
Originally published in 1558, this 2002 edition belongs to the Classiques collection from Le Livre de Poche and was prepared by François Roudaut.
For students of French literature and readers who want to approach a classic work of French poetry in its original language.
Joachim du Bellay was a French poet, critic, and a founder of La Pléiade. He notably wrote the manifesto of the group: Défense et illustration de la langue française, which aimed at promoting French as an artistic language, equal to Greek and Latin.
