Synopsis

Ouvrez les livres de geographie les plus complets, etudiez les cartes, meme celle de l'etat-major, et vous y chercherez en vain un petit affluent de la Seine, qui cependant a ete pour la ville qu'il traverse ce que le Furens a ete pour Saint-Etienne et l'eau de Robec pour Rouen.Cette riviere est le Puchot. Il est vrai que de sa source a son embouchure elle n'a que quelques centaines de metres, mais si peu long que soit son cours, si peu considerable que soit le debit de ses eaux, ils n'en ont pas moins fait la fortune industrielle d'Elbeuf."

About this title

About the Author:

Hector Malot (1830-1907) was a French writer born in La Bouille, Seine-Maritime. He studied law in Rouen and Paris, but eventually literature became his passion. He worked as a dramatic critic for Lloyd Francais and as a literary critic for "L'Opinion Nationale." His first book, published in 1859, was" Les Amants." Malot eventually wrote more than 70 books. By far his most famous book is "Sans Famille" ("Nobody's Boy, " 1878), which deals with the travels of the young orphan Remi, who is sold to the street musician Vitalis at age 10. "Sans Famille" gained fame as a children's book, though it was not originally intended as such. He announced his retirement as an author of fiction in 1895, but in 1896 he returned with the novel "L'amour Dominateur" as well as the account of his literary life "Le Roman de mes Romans" (The Novel of my Novels).
