Description

""A Chair on the Boulevard"" is a novel written by Leonard Merrick. The story is set in Paris, where a young American woman named Claire is struggling to make a living as an artist. She meets a wealthy Frenchman named Armand, who offers to help her financially in exchange for her companionship. Despite their class differences and the disapproval of Claire's friends, the two fall in love and begin a passionate affair. However, their relationship is threatened by Armand's possessive and jealous nature, as well as Claire's growing sense of independence. The novel explores themes of love, class, and the struggle for artistic expression in a society that values conformity. It is a poignant and beautifully written tale of two people from different worlds who find each other, only to be torn apart by the constraints of their society.""And why should I be put to the trouble twice?"" grumbled the other. ""Do you figure yourself that it is agreeable to hang? I passed a very bad time, I can assure you. If you had experienced it, you would not talk so lightly about 'another day.' The more I think of your impudent interference, the more it vexes me. And how dark it is! Get up and light the candle--it gives me the hump here.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
