Expressing the elderly writer's despair at the failure of all his dreams as a young humanist, the voyage traces the last phase of the heroic quest, the cycle of old age and death. It is a descent into the underworld, but one that is undertaken hopefully, for the "Quart Livre" continues the search for a wife and for paternity begun in the "Tiers Livre." Ultimately, all of these strivings may be associated with the writer-physician who faces misfortunes in order to cure them. In the end, the "Quart Livre" affirms the healing power of wine, laughter, and words.
