Numa Roumestan: Moeurs Parisiennes by Alphonse Daudet
"Numa Roumestan: Moeurs Parisiennes" by Alphonse Daudet is a novel published in 1881. A charismatic Provençal lawyer pursues political ambitions in Paris, marrying the daughter of an austere magistrate. Their marriage becomes a battleground between his southern flamboyance and empty promises and her northern rectitude and reserve. As betrayals mount and hearts break, the couple faces a choice between separation and reconciliation. Daudet crafted a controversial portrait of North-South tensions that sparked
fierce debate about his harsh depiction of Provençal character. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
