Excerpt from Les Deux Rives: Roman
Par les carreaux de la porte vitrée du fond M. Pageot, premier apparêteur du Collège, la regar dait s'avancer, sa grosse moustache retroussée un peu par un sourire de sympathie.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a glimpse into the late 19th century rivalry between the French Academy and the high society it claimed to uphold. The author, as a renowned Egyptologist, was thrust into the limelight following the publication of a controversial biography on Cleopatra. However, the author's work is challenged by a jealous colleague, Saulvard, who accuses the former of obscenity in his writings. What follows is a battle of wit and accusations, revealing the pettiness and elitism within the hallowed halls of academia. Through the lens of this rivalry, the book delves into themes of artistic integrity, morality, and the conflict between individual expression and societal expectations. It provides a critical analysis of the complex relationship between art, power, and the search for truth.
