About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 42 full-page plates by James Tissot, Édouard Manet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. A Paris wallpaper firm, two partners — one who works and one who charms — and the second partner's wife, who intends to be seen. Daudet came to Paris from Provence at seventeen and made his name with Tartarin; this 1874 novel won the Académie's prize and is his hardest, a study of how a business and a marriage are dismantled by one woman's appetite and one man's decency. Forty-two plates by Degas and Renoir, among others, follow the novel's trade through milliners, shopfronts, and riverside leisure in the Paris of its making.
