"Paris in 1789 - its unpaved alleys, its fashionable crowds, its busy prostitutes, its glittering salons and humming cafes reflect a great city recovering from the worst winter in living memory. Working away in two rooms on an obscure street is Restif de la Bretonne, an eccentric 'underground' writer whose salacious works have earned him the title of 'the Rousseau of the gutter' and 'the Voltaire of the chambermaids'". Time Period 1700's & 18th Century. Locale: Paris--France. Main character: de la Bretonne, Nicolas-Edme Restif. (Fiction, Diaries, Historical Fiction).
