Hardcover. Etat : Fair. No Jacket. Hard cover without a dust jacket, (No ISBN stated) Illustrated by Amy Hogeboom. Fair reading copy, fair boards, soiled boards and page edges. From the Preface: Change is a law of life. Languages do not escape. The French language of today is quite different from what it was fifty years ago. Much of the French read in our classrooms is almost archaic, so far is it removed from the simple, flowing modern idiom. Therefore, when circumstances make it possible to offer to the American student a story of irresistible appeal, a typical specimen of real Parisian French, presenting a cross-section of contemporary life in France, and especially when such a story comes from the pen of a recognized literary genius, the opportunity is not to be neglected. This, then, is the raison d'etre for the present volume. Language, novel.
