Au Coin Des Rues: Contes [French]

By Francis Carco

Au Coin Des Rues, a collection of short stories by Francis Carco, offers a poignant glimpse into the underbelly of early 20th-century Parisian life. First published in 1922, these tales vividly portray the lives of marginalized individuals navigating the city's shadowy corners. Carco's evocative prose captures the raw realities and fleeting moments of beauty found amidst poverty and despair. His keen observations and lyrical style create a compelling narrative tapestry that resonates with both historical significance and enduring human emotion.

Carco, known for his intimate portrayals of Montmartre and the Parisian underworld, infuses these stories with authenticity and empathy. Readers will be transported to a bygone era, experiencing the vibrant yet gritty atmosphere of a city teetering on the edge of modernity. "Au Coin Des Rues" remains a testament to Carco's skill as a storyteller and his ability to find poetry in the most unlikely of places.
