Description:... Louis Simpson's translation of Francois Villon's The Legacy and The Testament has achieved the impossible, as Simpson has created the definitive translation of the life work of France's greatest poet of the 15th century Abandoned by his parents at an early age and raised by a foster father, later imprisoned, chained and tortured, somehow Villon survived to write one of the most enduring epics ever.
