by Onesime Somain de Claireville (Author), Ludovic Louvion
Le Gascon extravagant (1637) of Onesime Somain de Claireville occupies a unique place in the French literature, between Sorel and Scarron. In this novel the picaresque adventures, the satire and the critical reflection combine always with a obvious taste for fantasy and romance that prefigure Le Roman comique.
