Original · La vie des hommes infâmes

In the XVIIth century, the imaginary and meticulous account of the life and fall of Mathurin Milan, a man whose folly has always been to hide from his family, to lead an obscure life in the country, to have lawsuits, to lend at usury and at a loss, to wander his poor mind in unknown roads and to believe himself capable of the greatest jobs.
