Summary "Œuvres complètes de François Villon" by François Villon is a collection of poems and writings from the 15th century, reflecting the life and times of one of France's most enigmatic poets. The works primarily center on Villon himself, exploring themes of love, poverty, regret, and the human condition, revealing a character shaped by misfortune and the pursuit of knowledge amidst a tumultuous life. The opening of this compilation provides insight into Villon’s early life and struggles. It discusses his humble beginnings in Paris, the challenges he faced as a poor student, and his eventual entanglement in a life of rebellion against societal norms, including his encounters with the law. The text introduces his passionate love life, which becomes a source of both inspiration and strife, leading to punishments that shape his later reflections. Through poetic expressions, we witness Villon’s complex character, marked by both a yearning for connection and a recognition of his personal failings, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of his life in the subsequent verses.
