«Maximes» is a collection of moral maxims by François de La Rochefoucauld, published by Bookking International in paperback (190 pages, in French).
A classic of French moral literature, it brings together more than six hundred aphorisms that dissect human behavior: self-love, virtue, hypocrisy and social conventions. Its sharp, often skeptical gaze influenced thinkers such as Voltaire and the Jansenists.
The work was originally published in 1665 as «Réflexions ou Sentences et Maximes morales»; this edition is part of the Classiques Français collection.
Recommended for readers interested in moral philosophy, French classics and aphoristic literature.
