About the Book

Le classicisme libertin en forme d'historiettes en vers !

POUR UN PUBLIC AVERTI. Gaillards et subtilement provocateurs, les Contes de La Fontaine sont la marque d'un esprit licencieux et révèlent un talent de libertin raffiné. L'auteur y ajoute en préface une plaidoirie en faveur de ses contes, craignant que ses contemporains ne soient choqués par la liberté de ces petites histoires galantes.

Découvrez le quatrième volet des Contes de La Fontaine qui, jadis frappés par la censure, se distinguent des Fables par leurs penchants grivois.

EXTRAIT

*Le roi Candaule et le maître en droit*

Force gens ont été l'instrument de leur mal;
Candaule en est un témoignage.
Ce roi fut en sottise un très grand
personnage.
Il fit pour Gygès son vassal
Une galanterie imprudente et peu sage.
Vous voyez, lui dit-il, le visage charmant,
Et les traits délicats dont la reine est pourvue
Je vous jure ma foi que l'accompagnement
Est d'un tout autre prix et passe infiniment;
Ce n'est rien qui ne l'a vue
Toute nue.
[...]

À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR

On connait davantage Jean de La Fontaine pour ses Fables moralisatrices, grands chefs-d'oeuvre de la littérature française, que pour ses écrits grivois, peu propices à l'édification de la jeunesse. L'influence de l'Eglise, à la fin du règne de Louis XIV, et la pudibonderie janséniste du XVIIIe siècle ont jeté le voile sur les contes licencieux que le moraliste a publié en cinq recueils (1664, 1665, 1666, 1671 et 1674). Sa prouesse a été de ne jamais être explicite ou de nommer la sexualité mais de la suggérer, de la dire à demi-mot. Cependant, la réputation coquine des historiettes provient en partie des illustrations ornant les premières éditions de l'ouvrage. Élu à l'Académie française, La Fontaine a dû renier ses contes licencieux qui lui ont valu de nombreuses critiques.
