Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Louis Duval: A Tale of the French Revolution Between sixty and seventy years ago, on a dismal April day, in one of the garrets of a large house, in one of the narrow streets of Paris, were to have been found, had they been sought, a wrinkled, lame, and half blind old woman, and a little boy about eight years old. The old woman´s name, spelt English fashion, was Margaret - Margaret Duval, and that of the boy, who was her grandson, was Louis Duval. That old Margaret and her grandson were very poor, could easily have been seen. There was but little furniture in the room, and that was old: the broken walls were patched with coarse paper; while, cold and gloomy as was the weather, - and April weather, even in Paris, is often very cold and gloomy - not a spark of fire was visible on the hearth. But, in spite of these signs of poverty, there were signs also of respectability in that garret. It was clean, and so was the old woman, both in person and clothing; so also was the boy. The dress of Margaret, especially, showed that she had seen better days. As to that of Louis, it had not much, excepting its cleanliness, to distinguish him from the children of other poor families with which Paris abounded, and with which all large cities abound. He had on a coarse loose frock, and was barefoot. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
