Caractères, originally by the ancient Greek philosopher Theophrastus and expanded upon by Jean de La Bruyère, offers a series of sharp and insightful character sketches that dissect the manners and morals of 17th-century French society. La Bruyère’s additions transform Theophrastus’s work into a powerful social commentary, revealing the vanities, hypocrisies, and eccentricities of the court and the city. With its elegant prose and keen observations, 'Caractères' remains a relevant and enduring exploration of human nature and societal foibles, providing a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal period of French history and literature.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
