Splendeur et misères

This is how Lucien Chardon, or rather Lucien de Rubempré, plunges into the Parisian world, full of hope and ambition. Glitzy aristocracy, hard-working bohemians, the business world, the murderous press, the exuberant theater... Will these worlds grant a place to this newcomer? Each milieu has its rules, and Lucien is a player. Perhaps a little too much so.
Lucien will fall in love, have friends and enemies, experience betrayal and pretense. His talent and beauty will charm but will be envied. Thus, a machine of glory and fall is revealed in a 19th-century Paris with terribly contemporary tones...
