Georges Ohnet was a highly popular and prolific author in the late 19th century, known for his melodramatic "Bourgeois" novels that often-explored themes of honor, social status, and intense personal conflict. This is a prime example of his style, which frequently pitted aristocratic values against the rising middle class. Very rare.
