Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the entertaining and colorful world of 17th-century Paris's criminal underworld through the exploits of a resourceful group of filous. By day, they are street performers and peddlers. By night, they are a gang of thieves engaging in various cons and scams, all the w…hile outwitting the bumbling police force. The plot centers around the stolen portrait of a wealthy widow's niece. The mysterious theft sets in motion a series of events as the filous try to cash in on the reward for its return while navigating the city's dangerous criminal landscape. Beyond its episodic structure and intriguing central mystery, the book offers a glimpse into the social and cultural realities of the time when crime and poverty were inseparable from daily life for many in the bustling French capital. Its portrayal of the filous as both clever tricksters and victims of circumstance provides a complex and nuanced perspective on social inequality and the fight for survival in a society on the brink of great change. The book's insights into the psychology of deception, the nature of crime, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity make it a timeless and thought-provoking work.
