Excerpt from The Petty Bourgeois, Vol. 2Every one has heard of the disasters of the Odéon, that fatal theatre which, for years and years, consumed the substance of all its directors. Rightly or wrongly, the quarter in which that dramatic impossibility is situated is still convinced that it is deeply interested in its prosperity, and more than once the mayor and most eminent citizens of the arrondissement, with a courage that does them honor, have been known to resort to the most des perate combinations to galvanize the corpse.To be connected with theatrical matters is one of the most persistent and undying ambitions of the lesser bourgeoisie, wherefore the successive saviors of the Odéon have always deemed themselves rewarded by being entrusted with an ostensible share in the management of the enterprise.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
