Quote of the Day
Carcanet has always been the place to look for considerations of purely literary and intellectual merit. Its list relies on the vision and the faith and the energy of people who care about books, and values. It is thus as rare as it is invaluable.

  • François Villon, poet, thief and murderer, was born in Paris in 1431 but there is no trace of him after about 1463. This iconic figure in French poetry is the subject of a lively biographical and historical study by Aubrey Burl, Danse Macabre (2000).
