SECOND DIALOGUE
LE COMBAT DU VIT ET DU CON ET LES RAISONS DE PERRETTE.
A daring 17th‑century work, this piece presents a series of witty dialogues that explore love, desire, and the education of women. Through the exchanges of its two protagonists, Agere and Pati, the author probes the limits of propriety and the hidden motives that drive romantic intrigue, all with a sharp, satirical edge.
When it first appeared, the book’s explicit treatment of sexuality shocked the authorities, leading to public burnings and the author’s condemnation in absentia. The controversy that surrounded its publication adds a fascinating historical layer, showing how ideas about gender and pleasure could provoke severe backlash. Listeners will be drawn into the lively debates and the clever wordplay that made this once‑banned text a notorious example of early modern libertine literature.

Subjects
Best known as a presumed co-author of a scandalous 17th-century French dialogue, this little-documented writer survives in literary history through a single notorious title. The work’s mix of frank sexuality and conversational wit helped give it an afterlife far beyond its original moment.
