Histoire comique by Anatole France
"Histoire comique" by Anatole France is a short story published in 1903. Young actress Félicie Nanteuil finds herself at the center of a scandal when her jealous lover, a modest actor named Chevalier, confronts her and her aristocratic suitor with a revolver. The aftermath of his desperate act triggers a controversy involving the church and theatrical society. Through this dramatic incident, France explores the intersection of passion, social status, and the peculiar
world of Parisian theater life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
