| Résumé: | In the preamble to his Nouvelles Récréations et Joyeux Devis,Bonaventure des Périersexpresses the desire to entertain in order to keep sorrows at bay. Thus passions, which count among the sorrows, receive very little attention in Des Périers’ work. However, in so far as as his short stories are centred on social relations, approximately fifteen of them involve cases of revenge. Sometimes this vengeance is contained in a witty reply or motto, sometimes in a beffa. The narrator prefers harmless verbal revenge, while underlining the brutality of certain vengeances that apply the law of talion, and that are incommensurate with the fault or offence. For des Périers, Patience seems the best response to offence: is it not better to avoid anger and scandal? Des Périers thus invites his reader to adopt an attitude of “invincible constancy”. |
