The infamous novel by Nicholas de Chariar refers to the period when the High Renaissance replaces the Middle Ages and respect for human life in all its manifestations, including sensual delights, replaces the idea of ​ ​ the original sinfulness of all mankind. In form, the novel is designed in the form of dialogues between a student and a mentor. An ardent but inexperienced young man from high society shares stories about his love adventures and receives advice from a sophisticated mentor.
