| Summary | "Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles, tome I" by Thomas Wright is a collection of French short stories written in the late 15th century. This work is renowned for its entertaining tales that reflect the customs and social dynamics of the time, often involving themes of love, deception, and humor. The stories are believed to have been inspired by the Italian "Cento Novelle" and are presented as humorous anecdotes revolving around various historical and fictional characters, likely drawing from the author's experiences at the court of Burgundy. The opening of "Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles" introduces a rich tapestry of tales starting with a story about a bourgeois man in Valenciennes, who plots to seduce his neighbor's wife while the husband is away. As the plot unfolds, it humorously illustrates the lengths to which the protagonist will go to achieve his desires, culminating in a comedic twist when the husband unexpectedly returns home. Following this initial tale, the first chapter sets the tone for a series of stories that weave elements of romance, mischief, and the often humorous consequences of human folly, inviting readers into the vibrant world of 15th century France.
