"Histoire amoureuse des Gaules; suivie des Romans historico-satiriques du XVIIe…" by Roger de Bussy-Rabutin is a satirical roman à clef published in 1665. This scandalous work chronicles the romantic intrigues and indiscretions of French high society, mocking King Louis XIV's early love affair and various aristocratic figures under pseudonyms. Written privately to entertain his mistress and friends, the manuscript was published without the author's consent, leading to his arrest, imprisonment in the Bastille, and permanent exile from court for the remainder of his life.
