One of the greatest bestsellers of 18th-century literature, accompanied by de Maistre's sequel, "A Nocturnal Excursion Around My Room"
Finding himself locked in his room for six weeks, a young officer journeys around his room in his imagination, using the various objects it contains as inspiration for a delightful parody of contemporary travel writing and an exercise in Sternean picaresque, humorously demonstrating what one can explore without having to set off to exotic locations. Accompanied here by its equally superb sequel, "Nocturnal Expedition Around My Room," in which a similar...

But these bawdy and boisterous tales, with their fixation on food and faeces, are not just entertaining yarns, as Francois...
