The Mysteries of Paris - Volume 5

Eugene Sue

Book Overview: 

Rodolphe, who is really the Grand Duke of Gerolstein (a fictional kingdom of Germany) but is disguised as a Parisian worker. He can speak in argot, is extremely strong and a good fighter. However he shows great compassion for the lower classes, good judgment, and has a brilliant mind. He is at ease in all layers of society and so is able to understand their problems, and how the different social classes are linked. Summary by Wikipedia

It is on this garnet-coloured ground that was shadowed forth the figure of Cecily, which we will now attempt to paint.

Thật không dễ dàng gì để kết thúc bộ tiểu thuyết này, đã lắm lúc mình cầm lên đặt xuống và phải gắng gượng lắm mới gấp được đến trang cuối trọn vẹn. Mình nói vậy vì không phải độ dài của cuốn truyện, hay nội dung của nó quá phức tạp làm nản lòng người đọc.
