Summary "Lettres galantes du chevalier de Fagnes" by Paul Ginisty is a historical epistolary novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows the experiences of a young nobleman, the chevalier de Fagnes, who navigates life in Paris during the 18th century, as he encounters both adventures and misadventures, under the guidance of his uncle, M. de Quiévelon, who has ambitions for him. The work promises a lively exploration of love, society, and the cultural milieu of the time. The beginning of the novel introduces the circumstances surrounding the letters that make up the correspondence of the chevalier de Fagnes. The author mentions how these letters were discovered in the aftermath of World War I by M. de R..., who recalls his friendship with the chevalier's uncle. As the narrative unfolds, we learn about the peaceful life of M. de R... and the impending war that disrupts his family, leading to the discovery of the letters written by his beau uncle. The exciting yet chaotic arrival of the chevalier in Paris is revealed through his observations about the bustling city, his struggles with finding lodging, and his encounters with various characters, including a deceitful innkeeper and an arrogant nobleman, setting the tone for his adventures within this vibrant historical setting.
