{"product_id":"the-libertine","title":"The Libertine","description":"This sumptuous volume presents more than eighty selections from eighteenth-century French literature, each concerning some facet of the game of love as practiced by the libertine, or the freethinking aristocratic hedonist, a type that flourished--not least in literature--in the declining years of the Ancien Régime. These pieces, which include fiction, drama, verse, essays, and letters, are the work of some sixty writers, both familiar--such as Voltaire, Rousseau, and, of course, the Marquis de Sade--and lesser-known. Each selection is illustrated by well-chosen period artworks, many rarely seen, by Watteau, Boucher, Fragonard, and numerous others.Racy, thought-provoking, and a treat for the eyes, The Libertine is the perfect gift for litterateurs, art lovers, roués, and coquettes.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":55098342736210,"sku":"9780789211477","price":143.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/bild_8ce2c6bd-a242-471d-b6a1-4b424a186a2d.jpg?v=1792150751","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/the-libertine","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
