Le voyage forcé de Becafort hypocondriaque. Qui s'imagine être indispensablement obligé de dire ou d'écrire, & qui dit ou écrit en effet, sans aucun égard, tout ce qu'il pense des autres & de lui-même, sur quelque matière que ce soit
Chez Jean Musier|à Paris 1709|9 x 16 cm|relié
The rare first edition.
Modern cream parchment paper boards binding. Black sheep title label.
Like all satirical works by Abbé Bordelon, this is a curious and unclassifiable work in which a narrator travels in the company of Becafort, relating his thoughts, speeches and dialogues; the work teems with criticisms and reflections on social progress, women's independence, the occult sciences... It is a journey without any consideration for the journey itself, warns the narrator.
