Title : I, François Villon - Jean Teulé - book

• Summary

After Rimbaud and Verlaine, Jean Teulé could not have better concluded his journey into poetry than by proudly and humbly donning the magnificent rags of François Villon.

Human brothers who live after us,
Do not harden your hearts against us.
He may have been born on the day Joan of Arc died. His father was hanged and his mother tortured. He learned Greek and Latin at the University of Paris. He enjoyed himself, lied, and stole from a very young age. He associated with the poor and the wealthy, students, priests, prostitutes, assassins, poets, and kings.
No human feeling was foreign to him. From the most sublime to the most atrocious, he committed all the acts a man can commit. He crossed like a meteor thirty years of the history of his time and disappeared one morning on the road to Orléans.
He gave the world powerful and mysterious poems and opened the magnificent path that all other poets would follow after him: absolute freedom.

After Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine, Jean Teulé slips into the shoes of François Villon to restore the existence of the first of the modern French poets, master of the ballad, a genius flayed like no other, but also a bad boy who assiduously frequented the world of dungeons.
