a| Dupaty was a French magistrate, criminal law reformer and man of letters. He was chamber president of the parliament of Bordeaux and made his mark in several causes célèbres.

a| Originally published posthumously in 2 parts in 1789, which met with great success and was translated into German, English and Russian. Rome placed it on the Index librorum prohibitorum. Dupaty is above all a gentleman thrown on the Grand Tour. However, rather than describing the ruins of an extinct star in a soothing manner, he focuses on the men - especially the women - and their customs: death, misery, and toil.These letters are epistolary in name only, since they were written for the sole purpose of publication.
