Le Gendre De M. Poirier: Comédie En Quatre Actes (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Excerpt from Le Gendre De M. Poirier: Comédie En Quatre Actes Tall, broad-chested, wearing a full black beard, strong, and walking through life with a firm step, t Emile Augier was physically and mentally a good type of the middle class. For he was preeminently a man of moderation and of common sense. Though genial, kindly, and much sought after, he went out little, preferring the retirement of his suburban home, just opposite the pretty little town of Bougival on the Seine. Not by any means what we understand to-day by a good Christian, he was an earnest preacher of morality, having in view, however, the preser vation of the family and of society, rather than the de velopment of individual character - the youthful sowing of wild oats he was willing to condone. In politics he was a liberal, although he eulogized the reign of Louis Philippe and was a friend of the emperor. From his political comedies f we gather that he hated the conserva tive clerical party and looked forward - vain hope! - to an aristocracy of intelligence, to be founded on the ruins of the aristocracies of blood and of money.
