Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gallant Rogue
With excellent reason did Canardin's taste in the everyday color of a coat run to the greenish gray which so aptly matched the stones in the dark alleys of Paris by day; and to the waistcoat and small clothes of a rusty red, which so nicely harmonized with the tiles of its roofs by night. So Canardin hummed his little tune and crept along. The narrowest avenue of escape would suffice for a cunning which had never yet failed him. It is true that the lateness of the hour brought every minute nearer the rising of the moon; but the same lateness had sent to bed the people who might play the spy upon him if they dared.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, set in 17th century France, follows the story of Canardin, a notorious rogue, who despite his wanted status, maintains a distinct air of elegance. When Canardin and a young notary, Lavallais, cross paths under peculiar circumstances, the two strike up an unlikely bond. Through their conversations, the author explores the complexities of morality and honor within the context of 17th century French society. Canardin's witty, self-serving justifications for his actions both amuses and unsettles Lavallais, who is himself on the cusp of a moral dilemma. With vibrant prose and dynamic characterization, the author deftly navigates the nuances of ethics and personal responsibility, leaving readers to ponder the boundaries of acceptable conduct. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332604197_0
