The story centers on Maurice Lesca, a 57-year-old man grappling with failures in both his career and personal life, living in poverty with his sister. Despite his education, he navigates a life of financial struggles and strained relationships, including a manipulative connection with a divorcee who owns a bookshop. As he encourages her to exploit her ex-husband, he inadvertently spreads dissatisfaction around him. Written in 1942 but published later, this novel showcases Bove's mature and distinctive narrative style, reflecting the complexities of survival in a modern city.
