Tricotrin. The Story of a Waif and Stray Volume I.

Numéro d'article 10217241

The specific edition is part of the famous "Collection of British Authors." These small, paperbound volumes were staples for English-speaking travelers in continental Europe during the 19th and early 20th centuries. It follows the titular character, Tricotrin, a bohemian "wanderer" and philosopher who discovers an abandoned baby girl (the "waif and stray") named Viva. He raises her in the French countryside, but the story eventually spirals into themes of high society, hidden lineage, and the clash between simple virtue and aristocratic corruption.
