Description:A calamitous tale about a 15th century poet, prankster, and petty thief who participates in the Paris university students' theft of a huge stone - known as the "Devil's Fart" - that serves as boundary for the property of one Madame Bruyeres, whose mission in life, it seems, is to rid the Paris streets of prostitutes. This incident will be only the beginning of his run-ins with the authorities. While on the run he writes and recites his poems and ballads in the royal courts as well as the taverns and brothels outside the city walls of Paris, while befriending traveling minstrels, picklocks, sneak thieves, organized criminal gangs, and ever so sly daughters of joy.His penchant for the epicurean, hedonistic life lands him in more than one jail, and gets him more than one sentence of death by hanging. As he says in one rhyme: Francois am I, - woe worth it me! At Paris born, near Pontoise city, Whose neck, in the bight of a rope of three, Must prove how heavy my buttocks be.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
