About This Book

Un bourgeois célibataire, habitué au luxe et aux plaisirs mondains, voit sa routine bouleversée lorsqu'il devient tuteur d'une jeune fille après la mort d'un proche. Le récit suit l'installation de la pupille dans un foyer déréglé, les tracas domestiques, les saillies d'un maître capricieux et les petites servitudes des domestiques, en mêlant scènes comiques et observations sociales. L'arrivée de l'enfant met en lumière vanités et hypocrisies du monde adulte, provoque des ajustements de mœurs et soulève des questions de responsabilité, d'influence et de tensions entre générations.
