On one level these stories present a vivid picture of a time and place, offering readers a glimpse into the ways in which people lived, loved, and gossiped in the years after the Belle Ãpoque. At the same time, the stories draw on the farcical tradition of French literature that includes Molià re and Feydeau, focusing on domestic mishaps, mistaken identities, and the enduring power of physical attraction. The result is a work that is at once light and profound. Its comic situations and characters resonate with readers, not only as an escape, but as a reminder of the timeless human comedy of love and marriage. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
