The works in this volume offer a lively, humorous tour of the manners and characters of the fl�neur (a leisurely wanderer), the grisette (a young working-class woman), the gamin (a street urchin), and more. While the names of authors such as Paul de Kock are no longer familiar, their works still open a window onto a vivid time and place.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
