Biography both romanticized and highly documented, Jean Teulé succeeds in restoring the great achievement which (urait) could be the life of Francois Villon, poet and subversive hooligan, never dissociate his work to which his sordid tribulations, funny and dramatic systematically echo. The story is picaresque, flirts with learning novel, historically fascinating and especially restores rebellion share facts and gesture Villon and seditious power of literature. A must read.
