Reseña del libro "The Affairs of Monsieur Bonpied: An illustrated novel of everyday life in the Dordogne (en Inglés)"

Author Dr. Michel Glautier brings his knowledge of business and his love of French culture together in his first work of fiction, The Affairs of Monsieur Bonpied. And like any good French novel, this tale is by no means rational. Offering insight into the traditional and eternal sides of French culture, Glautier centers the plot on an ordinary hero with a rural background: André Bonpied, whose surname hints at his well-intentioned, happy-go-lucky attitude. The story takes on a fable-like quality, filled with rich characters-some typical, some not so typical-and a continuous stream of problems; each chapter begins with hopeful relief and ends with yet another catastrophe as André tries to navigate married life and being a new businessman. Readers will meet André's supportive (and jealous) wife Angèle, his clever Bridget Bardot secretary Colette, his steady foreman Henri Paul, and his aristocratic business consultant Count de Brunac de la Bresse and watch as these and other characters heighten and diffuse the drama in each other's lives on a daily basis. Glautier's tale is an amusing, informative glimpse into the everyday world of France, its culture, people, and way of life.
