Above all, he is always witty, a fascinating mix of frivolity and philosophy.The pithy Maxims, being in French and English, offer an entertaining supplement to French study. They can be used to spark a lively discussion in tutoring sessions. Or they can be used to build vocabulary.Included in this edition among other things, is a portrait of La Rochfoucauld by himself. This is a charming piece of prose. Also included is La Rochfoucauld’s scathing portrait of a cardinal, whose portrait of La Rochfoucauld is equally critical. This verbal mud slinging between two prominent men of the age is quite amusing.The introduction attempts to interpret La Rochfoucauld's thought for modern readers. It gets a bit pedantic, but is still helpful.I'm delighted with this book. It makes especially good off-and-on reading. I pick it up when in the mood for some biting social satire. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Uncommon wisdom, clearly and concisely expressed *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2021* I did not dislike anything. These are remarkable statements, true of most people but not accepted by them. According to what I've read, the author suffered a serious head wound, was unconscious for many weeks and began to write these maxims when he'd recuperated. These translators don't mention anything about that, which is the only deficiency of this translation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent translation into English and expertly organized material *by C***I on Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2015* Excellent translation into English and expertly organized material. For those who appreciate La Rochefoucauld literary heritage, his sententions reflections on various aspects of life, his elegant humor - this is a really great reading for those long winter nights. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/48443260-maxims-the-william-of-moerbeke-translation-series-english-and-french](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/48443260-maxims-the-william-of-moerbeke-translation-series-english-and-french) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
