Pierre de Bourdeille Brantôme Livres
Brantôme n'était pas un historien au sens strict, mais ses Mémoires offrent un aperçu fascinant, bien qu'imprécis, de la vie de cour et de sa prodigalité morale. Avec une franchise et une naïveté remarquables, il dépeint ses contemporains, dont les vies défiaient souvent les attentes sociales de l'époque. Son œuvre plonge dans des détails explicites de la sexualité et de l'anatomie humaines, le tout raconté avec une désarmante absence de conscience de soi. Les lecteurs obtiennent ainsi un portrait vivant d'une époque, rempli de galanterie éhontée et de mœurs libres.

Životy záletných dam jsou stejně jako ostatní Brantômova "historická" díla spíše kaleidoskopickou mozaikou rozpustilých erotických příhod, anekdotických detailů a nevázaných rozhovorů. Autor je v nich všetečným pozorovatelem, hodnověrným svědkem, ale především barvitým vypravěčem, v jehož pojetí se dějiny stávají kronikou plnou nezbedných a ne vždy smyšlených příběhů..
