Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Pour Une Epingle, also known as The Memoirs of a Pin, is a French novel written by J.T. de Saint-Germain and originally published in 1887. The book follows the life of a pin from its creation in a factory to its various owners and uses throughout history. The pin serves as a metaphor for the human experience, as it witnesses and experiences the joys, sorrows, and struggles of those who possess it. The novel is divided into four parts, each representing a different stage in the pin's life. Part one explores the pin's creation and early days, while part two follows its journey through the hands of various owners, including a wealthy aristocrat, a poor peasant, and a soldier. Part three delves into the pin's experiences during the French Revolution, where it is used as a symbol of the oppressed. Finally, part four examines the pin's ultimate fate and its impact on those who possess it. The novel is a unique and imaginative exploration of the human experience through the lens of an everyday object, and offers a fascinating insight into French society and culture during the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
