Excerpt from The Adventures of François: Foundling, Thief, Juggler, and Fencing Master
The dull round of matins and vespers, the routine of lessons, the silent refectory meals, went on year after year with little variation. The boy Francois simply accepted them as did the rest; but, unlike some of his comrades, he found food for mirth, silent, gentle, or boisterous, where no other saw cause for amusement.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to 18th century France, following the adventures of Francois, a choirboy later forced to live on the criminal streets of Paris amid the chaos of the French Revolution. Separated from his beloved dog Toto, Francois joins forces with a human crab, a crooked woman who becomes his formidable mentor in the unsavory art of street theft. Although he can make people laugh, manipulate situations, and even fight when necessary, he longs for the lost innocence of his youth. When Francois discovers his old friend Toto, he is overjoyed. But this world is not a kind place, and the unlikely duo faces danger at every turn. The author deftly explores the moral complexities of this tumultuous period, showing how it both shapes and corrupts individuals. Through Francois's journey, this book sheds light on the nature of good and evil, the resilience of the human spirit, and the transformative potential of friendship.
