Robert-macaire, Der Unsterbliche Betrüger... [German]

By James Rousseau

Robert-macaire, Der Unsterbliche Betr ger... is a classic of French satire, featuring the iconic character of Robert-Macaire, a swindler and con artist who embodies the corruption and moral decay of 19th-century France. Created by James Rousseau and immortalized in the lithographs of Honor Daumier, Robert-Macaire's escapades offer a biting commentary on the social and political landscape of the time.

This German edition brings this timeless work to a new audience, allowing readers to experience the wit and humor of Daumier's artistry. Through sharp caricatures and incisive observations, the book provides a fascinating glimpse into the underbelly of French society, exposing the hypocrisy and greed that lurked beneath the surface. A valuable resource for students of art history, social satire, and 19th-century French culture.
