The fiction writing was more evolved in France than elsewhere in Europe during the time it was written. It is full of mystery, science, religion of the time. Told in a very sophisticated style it looks almost modern as well. The things are said very clearly and without much allusion. The humor in places is subtle and the tragedy heartbreaking. It reads more like a drama in many places. The characters are romantic and colorful, one of them might even survive from his rival for the besotted—stabbing, that too without much remorse, while trying to have a sexual escapade. This author is the precursor of the work of Other great French writers like Maupassant is a thought which fills the heart with pleasant feeling. Even in fifteenth century France was a liberal and happening country and was a place where many different cultures met. Though brutal at times, the political conditions were tolerant as well. Hope this spirit survives in the country now as well. The structure of the story is well organized and the chronology of events so well defined that it is the opposite of magical realism with the magic fully intact and decipherable. You never lose track of events or characters as they are so well placed—which you never have a clue of—in Magical realism. The author gives a great part of his attention to describe the Paris of the time where the story is set. He painstakingly describes its architecture and the view of a building and a view from it of other buildings and the city. It creates a kind of fascination in a reader about how detailed and complete a picture an author is trying to draw in his writing. Likewise about his characters. He wants to make them as much real as it is possible in a book. So compared to the task the author is devolving on himself, the result is surprisingly economical and refined. You never have a feeling if the writer is indulging himself and taking you for a ride. A true work of genius.
