| Summary | "Le livre du faulcon" by Anonymous is a fictional narrative written during the late 15th to early 16th century. The book explores themes of love and relationships through the allegorical device of falconry, where characters represent different aspects of human emotions, such as jealousy and desire. The text serves as a reflection on the complexities of love and the trials that lovers face in their pursuits. The story revolves around a noble falconer who becomes deeply enamored with a beautiful falcon, representing his romantic interest. His love for the falcon leads him to create elaborate lures in hopes of winning her affection. However, jealousy and envy arise from other birds and animals, who attempt to sabotage their love. Throughout the narrative, the falconer struggles with external temptations and the difficulties in asserting his bond with the falcon. Ultimately, the book delves into the nature of love, the impact of gossip, and the moral lessons that accompany romantic pursuits, revealing the trials one must endure for true affection.
