Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ...Galtier seems to possess both good and evil tendencies. Though kind-hearted he is helpless to defend Marie from his wife's cruelty, or to resist his desire for intoxicating drink. La Galtiere is even more ferocious and despicable than La Pancole. The moral degenerate, Pigassou, hermit of Saint Raphael, is a more general representative of the Free Brothers of Saint Francis than the admirable and loyal Adon Laborie. Santi Belli, as the smooth-tongued Italian peddler of religious images, introduces a new character. Since he is more completely master of his pas sions, he is more guilty than his comrade. He is responsible for Marie's tragic end. Marianne, the housekeeper, again furnishes the humorous touches that brighten the sad tone of the story. Her shrewdness keeps the boy in ignorance of the real facts in the case of Marie, as of all other things undesirable for small boys to know. She, too, is idealized, and no longer resembles the querulous servant of the other novels. The principal charm of the book consists in the childlike simplicity with which the story is t'old. Only now and then does the author abandon the role of "Monsieur le neveu" to discuss matters beyond the grasp of a youth. One regrets that so manly a fellow is reduced to eavesdropping in order to be able to report certain conversations essential to the story, but not to his own good. The episode29 on top of the cathedral tower well illustrates the boy's artlessness. "Monsieur le neveu" experienced the keenest embarrassment when Marie naively insisted upon showing him the white scar just above her ankle. She even begged him to touch it. At the very moment when he was unaccountably yielding to the temptation, suddenly a terrifying sound rent the air--even...

Book Description
Excerpt from The Novels of Ferdinand Fabre: Including an Account of His Life and a Discussion of His Position in Literature; A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The summer of 1847 she went to Montpellier, and on her return announced that a rich and pious cousin, Clo tilde Sicard, a nun in the convent of La Visitation de sainte-marie, was willing to assume the payment of Ferd inand's board until he should complete his studies at the higher seminary in Montpellier. He hesitated to ac cept the offer, for, as he frankly stated to his aunt, the young man who is as readily attracted as he by the charms of the opposite sex, is not destined for the life of a celibate. The father hoping that the medical career might yet be possible did not urge him. His mother, although she would have liked to see her son a priest, feared that his incli nations were not such as to lead him to the Church. However, the thought of the poverty of the family so frightened him that prospects of offering them a home in his future parish finally persuaded him to yield to his aunt's insistence.
