Jacques Ménétrier, dit dans sa jeunesse Jacques Tournebroche à cause de la profession à laquelle l'a voué son rôtisseur de père, tient la librairie A l'image sainte Catherine quand il entreprend de raconter ses aventures de jeunesse. C'est un roman picaresque plein de bouleversements, tragiques ou burlesques, au terme desquels un jeune homme, naguère ingénu, se trouve avoir fait son éducation morale. Mais La Rôtisserie de la reine Pédauque, tout en respectant les lois du genre, va plus loin et pose des questions essentielles sur le sens de la vie : les discussions philosophiques donnent au livre sa valeur d'inquiétude et d'apologie du désir.

"Saint Birgitta of Sweden (d. 1373), one of the most famous visionary women of the late Middle Ages, lived in Rome for the last 23 years of her life. Much of her extensive literary work was penned there. Her Celestial Revelations circulated widely from the late 14th century to the 17th century, copied in Italian scriptoria, translated into vernacular, and printed in several Latin and Italian editions. In the same centuries, an extraordinary number of women writers across the peninsula were publishing their work. What echoes might we find of the foreign widow's prophetic voice in their texts? This volume offers innovative investigations, written by an interdisciplinary group of experts, of the profound impact of Birgitta of Sweden in Renaissance Italy. Contributors include: Brian Richardson, Jane Tylus, Isabella Gagliardi, Clara Stella, Marco Faini, Jessica Goethals, Anna Wainwright, Eleonora Cappuccilli, Eleonora Carinci, Virginia Cox, Unn Falkeid, and Silvia Nocentini"-- Provided by publisher.
