Beschreibung:
A poor man in a Paris garret keeps a journal of a year: the first of January, a beggar on the stairs, a rich cousin, a dead neighbour's furniture sold off. Souvestre was a Breton lawyer's son who failed as a publisher and taught school before he found his subject — the quiet lives of ordinary Parisians. This 1850 book was read for fifty years as a manual for being poor without becoming small.
