A vivid, thrumming window into early twentieth century fiction, Acrobats And Mountebanks unveils a world where theatre and performance fuse with daily life, where illusion threads through streets of Paris and the city's shadowed corners of society. Hugues Le Roux's collection-a suite of francophone short stories-delivers sharp social satire, dazzling showmanship, and deft depictions of class dynamics. The tales drift between carnival culture and European urban life, where cabaret lights flicker on stages and in parlours alike, revealing how truth and deception mirror one another in plain sight...
A vivid, thrumming window into early twentieth century fiction, Acrobats And Mountebanks unveils a world where theatre and performance fuse with daily life, where illusion threads through streets of Paris and the city's shadowed corners of society. Hugues Le Roux's collection-a suite of francophone short stories-delivers sharp social satire, dazzling showmanship, and deft depictions of class dynamics. The tales drift between carnival culture and European urban life, where cabaret lights flicker on stages and in parlours alike, revealing how truth and deception mirror one another in plain sight. This is theatre fiction that moves beyond the footlights to illuminate motive, desire, and the precarious balance of respectability. Alpha Editions brings renewed honour to a significant literary voice: a work long out of print, now restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, this edition is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, crafted for classic fiction readers and collectors of vintage literature who cherish Parisian settings and the sensibilities of early modern urban life. The book sits at the intersection of parisian carnival literature and sophisticated social satire, appealing to readers seeking both historical texture and timeless storytelling. A must for casual readers and devoted collectors alike, Acrobats And Mountebanks offers lucid access to a pivotal moment in francophone literature, where illusion, wit, and humanity perform on the same crowded stage.
