A collection of the best prose of the outstanding French poet, fiction writer and historian Theodore Agrippa d'Aubigné, who ranks with the titans of the Renaissance. At the age of sixteen, he joined the Huguenot army and for a quarter of a century fought on the side of Henry of Navarre, being his close assistant in war and politics, and reached the position of marshal. D'Aubigné spoke about his life in his most interesting memoir, “A Life Told to His Children.” “The Adventures of Baron de Fenest” is a witty satire on the court nobility, one of the best works written in the spirit of Francois Rabelais.
