Summary

In this luminous work, author Franois Villon passes through a London suburb and the arcades of Bologna, mixing travel narratives and sketches of his uncle Edgar. It narrates the formation of a man who taught how to escape ordinary cities and offers readers several digressions on cooking, linen fabrics, terracotta sculpture, coffee and, above all, the secret and liberating bonds between great sufferings and small pleasures. In each ballad, the noble turn of the rhythm highlights the urgency of the themes that guide his life. The original text is corrected by the renowned translation by Sebastio Uchoa Leite, and this new bilingual edition features the original translation by Biblioteca de la Pliade, complemented by a masterful essay by Leo Spitzers on the famous ballad of the ladies of time.
