Written in an intentionally archaic style, the stories feature monks, nobles, merchants, lovers and rogues in plots full of desire, deception, humour and social satire. Balzac draws on the tradition of Rabelais and old French fabliaux to create a bawdy, energetic panorama of human appetite and folly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216373530963,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421099671891,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/droll-stories-folio-society-168","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
