Adolphe: Anecdote Trouvee Dans Les Papiers D'Un Inconnu (1839)

A collection of short, simple (and often less than sweet) [and occasionally bizarre] tales….often drawn from the ordinary and the uneventful…..where something less (or more) than the ordinary……and eventful…. is waiting to happen………..Seventeen short stories drawn from a range of situations….encompassing a range of styles….and aimed at anyone with an eye for a stark and simple tale, and without the need to be too uplifted by the things they read……
